Example Sentences

"Maybe the authors are London-centric, as some believe? Liverpool gets tagged with a mis-placed 'Street' at one point, while the WCML is described as "the main route for passengers to major cities in the Midlands and North West; Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool". No mention of southbound travel or Glasgow or Scotland. [Liverpool Street is a major rail terminus in London.]"
"Decisions made at the DfT inevitably reflect a London-centric experience, with a comparison being made with the closure of ticket offices throughout the London Underground network. This is not judged to have been detrimental, but there is a simple zonal fares system that is hardly comparable with the range of ticket types used on the national rail network."
