This is quite an interseting site - It shows current and closed lines and station names which have changed over the years! It's still under construction so there's only part of the country mapped http://www.systemed.net/atlas/ N. Log in to reply The following users said thank you: NCC1701, officer dibble |

That map already exists for years, and there has not been done anything with it for years either, so I wouldn't hold your breath. It would be great to see it finished though.

Thanks for the link to the Adlestrop map. For people like me, living outside the UK with only a hazy idea of geography, any detailed railway map is worth having. For what it's worth, another map I've found really useful is http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/passenger_services/maps/nationalrailnetworkmapZoom.pdf. Just thought I'd post this here without intending to go off-topic. Log in to reply |

Useful map but I am not too sure it shows the changes in station names. Alexandra Palace and Wood Green for instance. But there again the author does not claim that it does. I do think that there is a book out there somewhere which has similar maps for old and current lines and also has a listing of all the stations and what their previous names have been. Cannot remember the name of it but I am sure someone else can help.......probably something as simple as the book of 'station names' Geoff Log in to reply |

" said:Useful map but I am not too sure it shows the changes in station names. Alexandra Palace and Wood Green for instance. But there again the author does not claim that it does.There are quite a few map books out there, for modern lines the 'Rail Atlas of Great Britain' is probably the most inexpensive and is currently being updated. For a comprehensive view of all lines from the year dot the definitive book is 'Jowetts Railway Atlas' published in 1989 but I think it is now out of print but copies can be found in specialist bookshops and occasionally on Ebay.

For a relatively correct Modern Atlas, I can reccomend Track Atlas of Mainland Britain (2009). Its made by the same company who make the Quail diagrams.

The best atlas of the lot is the magnificent the railways of Great Britain a historical atlas compiled by Colonel Cobb, Which shows historical details (colour coded) of all lines between 1807 and 1994 superimposed on a black and white OS 1 in map, very expensive at about £150.00 but worth every penny. opening and closing dates of lines and stations by year only are shown with station names at opening and closing dates shown, if space permits station name changes between these dates are shown.
