Trackatlas of Mainland Britain: A Comprehensive Geographic Atlas Showing the Rail Network of Britain Book

The Trackatlas of Mainland Britain is based on industry sources and puts today's national rail network into its geographic context. 131 detailed diagrams describe a National Network Map showing the extent of the operating network and its infrastructure. The maps show track level detail in a schematic format set over geographic centre lines. Passenger and freight routes are shown together with their track formations including connections, crossovers and primary sidings. All stations appear with most signal boxes, junctions and tunnels including their names and railway mileages; most level crossings are included together with information describing their type. Complex areas are shown as larger scale insets. Included in the Trackatlas is an account of the origin, history and significance of railway mileages as well as an extensive index. This atlas provides an invaluable resource to industrial users and enthusiasts interested in the location and relationship between the railway routes of Britain.
