Rapid transit
I have done some work in the past two weeks and I think it's ready to be peer reviewed. Some things, like the topics section are still under development. I was thinking about separating specific systems and make a "Selected system" box, giving universal the articles more coverage. How's the layout? What other boxes can I add?

Hey, let's see if I can help:
- Intro - Seems abit short also a universal pic would be nice.
- Archives - I would prefer to see the article summaries and pics the way they appeared on the main portal page. Most portals do it this way, although I have seen one or two with simple links like that(not sure which). Also since the suggestions page is separate, please provide a link from the archives.
- Pics - Must provide credit, please see all featured portals.
- Portals - Seems like Portal:UK Railways would fit better than Portal:London Transport, but I'm sure both wouldn't hurt.
- Cats - The way you have it laid out, I would suggest using <categorytree>. It'll look the same but allow expansion within the box.
- Featured content - Since your within the "Featured" box there is no need for Featured before articles or lists.
- Topics - Good luck :)
- Projects - Suggest using two columns.
What do you mean by selected systems? Such as New York Subway would be one system, London Tube another? Yeah, that could be a good box, if you can find enough route maps, that would work well. Or a selected station box, or a types of trains box. Don't forget not to neglect emerging tech, such as maglev and such. Hope this helps :) Jo e I 05:26, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
