Diagrammatic History of the London Underground
http://www.dougrose.co.uk/index_historical.htm
I bought a copy of this map during a visit to London in 1991. Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, I suppose this is where it all started.
Victorian Railways Resources
This site has fantastically detailed information about VR stations and lines – much of this information has found its way into the Victoria map.
nswrail.net
This site has a wealth of detail on NSW railways, and was invaluable when I researched the Sydney rail map.
Jim Fergusson’s Railway Station lists
http://www.railwaystationlists.co.uk/
This site lists railway and tramway stations around the world – again an invaluable tool for the researcher.
Mark Bau’s VR Website
http://www.victorianrailways.net/
This site includes a timeline of VR history – very useful in preparing the Victoria map.
Melbourne Tram Museum at Hawthorn Depot
http://www.hawthorntramdepot.org.au/
This site includes a wealth of articles on Melbourne Tramways history, including one on my granddad, Clarrie O’Shea!
The links section is worth a look – it has links to other heritage tramways in Australia, NZ, Europe and North America.
Australian Rail Maps
This site has diagrammatic maps of current Australian rail networks, as well as a range of other information, including a few facsimiles of historic railway maps.
