The new
UK National Rail Map, published since 2009, takes note of the major developments on the railways this year. In the future, it may be seen either as the high water mark of railway services in the UK, or a reset to be followed by a new structure which is not yet clear.
In the earlier spring lockdown, sales of the previous “Mayflower” map went through the roof. I frequently had to struggle into the Post Office with 24 maps which was the most I could carry in a plastic box. This publication is an excellent way to learn just how extensive our railway network is, and to plan places to which you might like to go in the future.
