Ipswitch Borough

Okay, so you were probably expecting to see a smorgasbord of Light rail and subway stops today, eh. Too Bad! Instead of doing a mega update of the subway system, I will show bits of it in each setting.

Today, we will look at IpswitchAs I said before, Ipswitch is a borough in Sunderland City. It is located in the East Valley of the City and it is one of the more historic boroughs, though the others also have historical buildings. Ipswitch is serviced by the C-Crosstown (Red) line of the Sunderland Metropolitan Rapid Rail. In the borough, the line surfaces and becomes GLR, runs through a station, and then terminates at another. The stations servicing Ipswitch officially are Ipswitch Center and Eastglen, though residents of western Ipswitch often use Riverview, a subway station as well.

The Map again for Reference:map1copy.jpg

Eastglen Terminus, mostly accessible only by car. It is used mostly as overflow for Ipswitch center, and by commuters from the eastern portion of Ipswitch.eastglen.jpg

From Eastglen, trains cross East River Street, then run behind the shops lining it. We can also see the Heavy Rail line, which will tunnel under River St and the neighborhood near Eastglen.crosstown.jpg

Ipswitch Center Station. We will get off here to see some of the borough.stationd.jpg

The center of the borough, showcasing Ipswitch Central Elementary School, ICC1 (Ipswitch Community College), Church of St. Raphael, and The Rosalind Barclay Center for the Fine and Performing Arts. ipswitch.jpg

The Corners is the local business hub, and an outlying financial district. Also, we can see where Crosstown sinks to subway level.corners.jpg

Behind St. Raphael's Church is Kew Gardens, a botanical garden house for city dwellers.kewf.jpg

10000000000000: Thanks! I actually find the lack of traffic a problem, so I will probably switch to the 24h radical NAM

Zulu2065: The ones facing Kew Gardens start at $350,000 US, so this is NOT a cheap area, for sure, but the side street ones are substantially cheaper.

Mamaluigi945: Thanks!

armpit43: This would be in the range of North America, somewhere in the industrial north, but the river mouth is in the west, so it only lends itself to a fictional location. But I used the Binghamton map from the STEX.
