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.
| Re: New Adlestrop Railway Atlas update Posted by Richard Fairhurst at 13:12, 27th December 2021 | |
Thanks! I genuinely enjoy working on it, and this update particularly... all those long-lost lines across the north Pennines.

Thank you so much for all the hard work that you put in to this wonderfully useful resource Richard it's most appreciated by many .

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?

Following on from your link ,the version I get doesn't seem to show the Settle To Carlisle line yet any plans for this to continue northwest?.
Note to add ,I've now been able to make this link work Thanks again Richard.

Um the version I get does show it. Do you need to clear the cache on your browser?

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

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.

Brilliant - it’s a great resource. Thank you, Richard.

Richard, it's fantastic - thank you. I have just spend a fascinated couple of hours, learning and marvelling.

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
| Re: New Adlestrop Railway Atlas update Posted by Richard Fairhurst at 21:05, 29th December 2022 | |
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.
| Re: New Adlestrop Railway Atlas update Posted by ChrisB at 21:32, 29th December 2024 | |
I can open it in Adobe & then click to magnify in order to read text
| Re: New Adlestrop Railway Atlas update Posted by Chris from Nailsea at 21:42, 29th December 2024 | |
I agree, ChrisB: no problem with me for the 'pdf' version.
Richard will no doubt be able to resolve ellendune's apparent problem.
Meanwhile - many thanks for this latest update, Richard. I love the Portishead and WC&P lines.
