Thanks everyone for their kind responses! As my browser crashed while writing the update (which had the Personal Replies in it), I'll do the personal replies later on.

Update 9: Highsbury Hub and Much More...


A picture from before construction was started. As you can see, most of the infrastructure was already in place. While the main victim of the bulldozing was the Industrial Estate, some Landmarks, like the International Music School, had to be demolished as well.


Some shops on a main road, close to a railway station.


Arguably the last industrial building standing, Geeks Geekery, is nowadays also abandoned.


A prefabricated highschool, predesigned parking lot and a tram...


Suburbs


Rush hour at the GLR and Bus Hub.


One of the weird intersections that were needed to save place for the Hub, while serving it easily.


Low-wealth housing, nowadays abandoned due to the lack of industrial jobs.


The Public Library, along with some GLR and a Roundabout.


School, sited near the spot where the International Track splits to ease congestion.


Remember this from a teaser? It was deemed that the street on-grade with the rail was to be replaced with a pedestrian overpass, remember? Well, due to a lack of funds (the Hub costed a lot!), this hasn't been done yet. Due too the newest railway lines, this track is seldomly used, and plans are to replace it with some more GLR.


Roundabout with more Suburbs.


Sprawl.


Train driving by the embankment. The office building is owned by Trainspotters Inc., a Model-Train factory. Where do they get their inspiration, you think?


We started with an overview of how the area was, and we end with an overview of how it is today. How cute.  

I hope you enjoyed yourself again, and I think that this might be the last update of the month, thus also the last update in OSITM. Thanks again to everyone involved for selecting my MD; it is much appriciated.

great update there ,and the system of GLR and train is really so realistic !!

[art128]

Another awesome update my friend 

[Sheep49]

Great update Casper! I really love it. I feel kinda sorry for International Music Shool, though

[MandelSoft]

Wow! That's a huge hub!  And a nice update, Casper!

Sheep49: Thanks, and Highsbury is really devastated...
warconstruct: Thanks alot!
Travis: Thank you!
bat: Thanks!
metarvo: Thanks alot, I'm glad you like the GLR, I quite like it myself.
art128: Thanks alot!
Threestooges: The stations are indeed related, the track splits up a few miles before the station, to easy congestion on the Intercity line. The rails, suburbs and roundabout are indeed very common. Thank you!
JoeST: Hehe, the deer got caught indeed. Let's bring out the guns?
Simpson: Thank you!
south park: Thanks!
mrtnrln: The hub is huge indeed, I'm glad you like it.

And of course, a nice ribbon for thundercrack83, being the 300th poster.

[thundercrack83]

Hey, Casper! Thanks for the ribbon and congratulations on 300 posts! You're moving very quickly here!

And your hub is just splendid, my friend! I can tell that a lot of work and planning went into it! Keep up the good work!

Very nice! It looks like a lot of progress underway with transit.

[CabraBuitre]

Love the transit, including the GLR and roundabouts and I like how you incorporate the parks too!!

[Earth quake]

Excellent update casper, go on. 

[CasperVg]

Does anyone notice something strange, different perhaps?

[Tarkus]

I've caught the "something strange".  But I'm not going to divulge it, since I was directly involved with it.

This is all fantastic stuff here, Casper.  The neighborhood layouts look fantastic, and your transit network usage is very creative here.  That looks like a pretty massive GLR setup there in the most recent teaser, too.  Brilliant as always!

Err... Nice IllTonkso's RW station lotting

And new home's surrounding the area?

Really, to be honest, I don't have an idea XD. But nice teaser

[thundercrack83]

Is it the speed limit signs on the road next to the station? If not, I'm at a loss--but another great teaser either way, Casper!

[squidi]

Have you really gotten ahold of the Signage Piece Mod??! I thought that was... not really being worked on... But then again Tarkus did hint at something, and I know he is "directly involved" with the SPM development.

yuppers its SPM, I would bet a grand on it and since Cas is an associate now he can beta the great stuff before we can get ahold of it...
