I've just uploaded an update to my (very long-standing) New Adlestrop Railway Atlas:

https://www.systemed.net/atlas/

Cumbria, (the rest of) Yorkshire, and other bits and bobs. Including Okehampton marked as a full-service passenger line!

Well done, Richard.  It is an excellent resource I use quite regularly.

Thanks! I genuinely enjoy working on it, and this update particularly... all those long-lost lines across the north Pennines.

That's great, thanks Richard  - looking forward to the North east and Scotland!

A tiny point of detail if I may - can you include the former Coley branch from Southcote Junction please? And the Westward Ho!, Bideford and Appledore?

And a year later... here's another update:

https://www.systemed.net/atlas/

It now includes the north-east - which means England is complete. (Newcastle was pretty complex!) Plus a few tendrils into the Borders, and various changes/updates/corrections around the country.

The railways of the County Durham and Newcastle area are very complex as I found out when trying to produce a map of the waggonways associated with the coal and quarry industries

They are!

The Newcastle area was the biggest cartographic challenge - basically trying to balance legibility with accuracy and completeness. But to be honest it's the rural areas I enjoy the most - just thinking of an old line through Wooperton, Wooler and Coldstream. Entirely unviable right now but a man can dream...

+1, especially having had cause a few months back to pass by the site of Saughtree station, the building still there on its hillside though the nearby viaduct is long gone. Photo here:

And a classy video of the station from Forgotten Relics. There aren't many b&bs that have their own 12" to the foot garden railway.

Is it just me, but I cannot now zoom in enough to read the text.  I am using Adobe acrobat to open it.
