Most of the UK’s major rail routes where laid in the nineteenth century and have been adapted to suit modern needs ever since. The network struggles to be future proof as it copes with increasing commuter numbers and the need for quicker journey times between major UK cities. From 1998 to 2013 the number of rail journeys has doubled 1.5 billion; this kind of rapid growth is unsustainable for an already outdated rail network.

• The business case – What financial reasons are there for doing the project, what value will it bring to the economy?

In 2006 Sir Rod Eddington produced a study for the UK government serving advice on links between economic growth & productivity and transport. He highlights 17 Key findings

As the five previous ideas in P1.1 have now been considered, the next step is to consider a number of other factors when trying to determine my final selection for the project. The first factor to be considered is the costing of the whole project, as the college will be providing the funding, the costs of the materials and components should not exceed the maximum amount of available funds. During the research phase of the project it will have to be investigated how much the cost will be for all materials needed to build the prototype. Of course if any of the selected five ideas exceed the budget they will have to be eliminated from the selection.

This paragraph will talk about Challenges, Little known facts,and current uses. There are many challenges in maintaining the railway some are recessions, maintenance, and network performance and capabilities. In my opinion recessions are the biggest threat to the railways. What this means is that many people will lose their jobs, less businesses will use their railways, less goods will be needed to transport across Canada from coast to coast, and with less money and income they will be forced to spend less money on maintenance and the lines won't be as safe. Maintenance is a challenge as well.

The 6th coalition should have executed Napoleon Bonaparte when they were provided a chance in 1814 because France would have become a constitutional monarchy, which would fix many problems that were left as a result of the French Revolution. On May 2, 1814, Louis XVIII “officially promised a constitutional monarchy, with a bicameral parliament, religious toleration, and constitutional rights for all citizens.” (Britannica.com) Louis XVIII stated that he would turn France into a constitutional monarchy and provide the people with various reforms. Since Napoleon came to France after the 6th coalition, Louis XVIII had to flee, and “the ultras exercised increasing control and thwarted most of Louis’s attempts to heal the wounds of the Revolution.”

Physical activities conducted in church-based settings are dominant practices among African American women. Young & Stewart (2006) stated, “Churches are attractive settings in which to conduct health-promotion interventions targeting African Americans since they represent a major social link to the community.” There have been physical activity programs implemented in churches that were a convenient and inexpensive way to engage African American women in controlling their chronic diseases. More important, it is a place for many African American women to obtain social support, which is an essential predictor of physical activity for African American women. “Churches are central to the lives of many AA women,” (Peterson, 2011).

America 's infrastructure plays a large role in america 's economy. One example of a change will be through transportation. Not having a stabilized form of transportation, will result in society not having a safe route to work. “If investments in infrastructure aren’t made at this time, families will have a lower standard of living, businesses will be paying more and producing less and our nation will lose ground in a global economy.” (America 's Infrastructure Report Card).

Renovation of the President’s and Executive Vice President’s offices were not in alignment with the broad objective of Woody 2000 project. It was included in the project just to make use of the opportunity that since other activities were being carried out, then why not include the renovation in the project as well. But since it did not serve the project’s objective, but just added to the project cost and time, it wasn’t a good idea. b. Write a simple project scope statement.

An introduction to highway building: Although there are many methods to constructing a road, all are based on the principle that geographical objects are removed and replaced with harder and more wear-resistant materials. The pre-existing rock and earth is removed by digging or explosions. Tunnels, embankments and bridge are then added when necessary. The material that the road is being constructed from is then laid by various pieces of equipment, which will be looked at in greater detail in this assignment. The construction management of roads has become increasingly more difficult as larger structures are constantly being required in increasingly short amounts of time.
