My Sydney suburban rail map with some little changes and updates over the past year! In A4 and A3 formats.
Sydney's rail network in the 2040s! Based on the leaked plan that was made public recently, with several rail extensions and one new Metro line.
Sydney in the style of Vignelli Associates' 1972 New York City subway map!
I had a go at making a map that shows all the individual tracks and platforms in use on Sydney's heavy rail network! Inspired by a 1928 map that did something similar -- though the network has gotten much more complicated since then!
Sydney's first ever public transit diagram, redrawn to show our modern rail network! Sydney was one of the first cities to adopt London's transit map concept in 1939, and stylistically it borrowed a lot from Henry Beck's distinctive drafting style. Sydney ditched the idea for another 35 years after this map, save for a very brief reprint in 1953.
Sydney Metro 2033
A version of my map with the currently under-construction Metro West, Metro Western Sydney Airport, and Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2 lines added! Hunter Street/Martin Place in the CBD will be particularly interesting as Sydney's first in-station interchange between two differently named stations.
The Tube Map but it's Sydney Trains (+ Metro and Light Rail)!
Historical Map Monday! (This won't really be a regular thing as I don't have enough on-topic to post consistently)
The 1972-1975-ish PTC map of Sydney's rail network introduced a lot of groovy new design choices that were very short lived, such as miniscule station ticks separate from the lines, haphazard line angles, and of course the dashed rainbow City Circle which, though charming in itself, didn't show too clearly how it interacted with the rest of the network. This was the first time Sydney would use colour-coded lines since the obscure 1953 map.
Redrawn by me in Inkscape -- I didn't have much to go off of so it's not perfect!
