Have you looked at using an OpenStreetMap transport layer? You can download the data but you would have to do some work to get it in the right format and host it offline.

If you have a look at old-maps.co.uk, and click on the 1926 1:2,500 it looks like there might be a footbridge at the station, just north of the station building. It doesn't appear on their earlier or later maps.

If you visit the UK map at RailMapOnline.com, then select the OS 1920s map (drop down list at top left), at zoomed-out levels the map includes Lat,Long lines every 0.5deg. Not quite a "meaty big line", but might help. Once you zoom-in it reverts to an OS grid. You can also see the position...

Like this?:) www.RailMapOnline.com Hoping to launch a more mobile-friendly version later this year.

Found a picture of a lift at Greenwich Pier: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bu_udxcCIAAQWVb.jpg:large If this is the one, then despite being on rails, I think I'll discount this one.:) For Old Bill, you can't switch between closed and open lines. Its a "feature" of the map that it shows all...

National Motor Museum and Bransbury Park Rly both added. Haven't been able to find mention of a funicular at Greenwich Pier? It's not the cable car is it? Can you provide any more information? Thanks for all the great feedback!

I've been away for a couple of weeks, so have only just got round to updating the maps. For L&Y Robert I've refreshed the area around Burnley, highlighting the tramways in light green and finding some new tramways. For 1018509 I've added in Edisford Bridge miniature rly. Thanks to all those...

Updated the map with the missing piece of Metrolink to Ashton under Lyne, and the St Anne's Miniature Rly. Thanks for the additions. Quite a few other updates as well (details on the home page, or on the map page at Info, Latest New). Cheers

Merstham Valley Rly added, and also updated the Middleton Rly and added the East & West Yorkshire Union Rly. Sources of information vary. I started by using old maps and reference books I collected over the years or borrowed from libraries, but more recently almost everything is available...

Dobwalls Miniature Rly and Gorse Blossom Miniature Rly now added (albeit a best guess at the track layout). Thanks to 'plymothian' for spotting they were missing. You may have to refresh your browser to pick up the latest map.

What's included - well basically if you can ride it then it's included. However, I have ruled out the following in order to keep the workload a little more manageable: - Old, urban tram lines. Simply too much work at this stage to include all the vast tram networks. However, some of the...

Just seen all this interest in the site. Thanks to all those who have visited and provided feedback. The interface is a bit clunky at the moment. It's evolved over the past year with new features bolted on, so apologies to those of you who have found it difficult to find all the features...

Part of the maze of lines for the Bridgewater Collieries Rly: http://www.RailMapOnline.com/UKIEMap.php?lat=53.53306&lng=-2.38792 Love the picture of the electrics at the power station in the previous post!

Thanks to all those who have helped with content and feedback for the Rail Map Online website. The map of the UK and Ireland has been getting more and more detailed, and slowly stations and features are being added. Currently north England, eastern England, London and south west England have...

Hi Karl, good spot, think I miss-read an old OS map that appeared to have the line turn and follow Croston Rd. I've corrected the carriage sidings. Also added in a north link between the Farington Fork and Farington station that appears on early maps. I'll update the map later today...
