Rail Book/Map/Atlas

[crispy1978]

I wonder if you could help - I was in WHSmith at York Station a while ago and was having a look through the railway book section and they had a book which was essentially a map of the UK Rail Network - I think from memory it had 5-6 lines per page, showed all the platforms, lines, etc.

I've done a quick google search but obviously you only see the front cover so I don't know if it was the right book or not.

Does anyone know which book it's likely to be, and can they give me a link to it on Amazon or somewhere please?



Thanks!!

Most likely it was the TRACKatlas of Mainland Britain.

Also available on Amazon.

Actually, I think it sounds more like the 'Quail' diagrams. For the benefit of the original poster, on the page Railsigns links to, look at the 'Railway Track Diagrams' listed on the left.

Thanks guys - the images in the book don't appear to be how I remember it.

The one in the second book looks like one I've seen as well.

If it is not those then it almost certainly must have been this, as I am not aware of any others.

Coincidentally, I was looking in that 5 minutes ago in Waterstones. It was OK, but not what I was after.

After a bit of googling last night the first reply looks the most likely but the format doesn't look right - perhaps I'll wait until I'm at York Station again to confirm.

Did it look more like this?

If so, those are Quails, as mentioned in post 2.

That looks a bit more like them!

Thank you!
