Long-time lurker, first time posting something I've made rather than asking a question. I've built a small daily puzzle site (playtheroute.uk) — Immaculate Grid format applied to UK rail stations, split into 20 regional networks so it's not just a London thing.
Tried to keep the underlying data honest with real Darwin/CORPUS-derived route and journey time data, not invented. That said, with a dataset this size I'm sure there are still edge cases I've got wrong (e.g. mistagged routes, closed stations I've missed, awkward regional splits). If anyone here plays it and spots something off, I'd genuinely appreciate a shout, and will happily fix things quickly. Please feel free to offer up god points and bad things too.
Not trying to sell anything, it's free with no login. Mostly just want it to be accurate and for people who know this stuff better than I do to poke holes in it.

Just an update as the site is now fully live at playtheroute.uk, with a Welsh-language version - Welsh/Cymraeg - which has a bilingual interface and Welsh clues for the three Wales network quizzes (TfW Cymraeg, GWR Wales Corridor, Shrewsbury–Wrexham–Chester). Similarly, there is also a Scottish Gaelic version at Scottish/Gàidhlig
I have completed its interactive UK rail map which was built on real track geometry (OS-derived centreline data) rather than schematic straight lines, so routes follow the actual physical alignment. Please see here.
Twenty daily network quizzes running across England, Scotland and Wales – happy to take all feedback bad and good. Just want people to try it.
