	Latrobe Online Access Centre
		Latrobe continued to be a principal town of the north-west coast for many years after the coming of the railway, and it was not until roads were improved and extended, the water on the river bar considerably deepened, and farmers began taking their produce into Devonport, that this town began to dwindle in importance.

	Hidden Meaning Behind Aussie Callsigns
		The station in the island state of Tasmania with a similar callsign is 7AD, and this stands for Advertising Devonport, the station's home city.
		Station 5AD is in Adelaide and this callsign identifies the city and also the "Advertiser" newspaper which owned the station.
		There are these days a few other stations that have been granted three letter callsigns, though most of these have come over from the regular three letter calls used by radio stations in the standard FM band in Australia.

	GMT2000 - Greenwich Millennium Station -- the underground option
		Their proposal would also shorten the walking distance between the existing Network SouthEast station and Greenwich Town Centre and provide ready connectivity between this station and the Docklands Light Railway.
		Their plan involves siting the Network SouthEast station underground, beneath the grass along Romney Road in front of the Devonport Nurses’ Home, where they claim there is sufficient room for platforms accommodating the new Network SouthEast trains--with the station complex located below Greenwich Market.
		The proposal for Greenwich Millennium Station would provide an integrated transport solution with the possibility of the Network SouthEast platforms also acting as a terminus/interchange for the proposed tramway connecting to the festival on Blackwall Peninsula.
