Map of the National Rail Network.

[BanburyBlue]

Does anyone know if you can still get printed copies of the national rail map that used to come with the official timetable. The one I'm referring to was called 'Great Britain Passenger Railway Network Map' or later on the 'National Rail Timetable Network Map'.

It has a picture of the UK on the front with the rail lines marked in red, and on the reverse had detailed regional maps.

Thanks

I remember them. I'd like one too actually.

I asked for this in a major booking office about five years ago and was told that no one made them any more.

I suspect the best you're going to be able to do is arrange to get something like this printed yourself (note link to large PDF).

Or some of the other maps available from NRE here.

Anyone know of a scan online of the paper network map I used to get from Derby station back in the 1970s? I remember it was how I first learned of the existence of the islands Rum, Eigg and Muck off Scotland's west coast.

I have the 1995-1996 one.

GWR have done a double sided map. One side shows their network, the reverse has the whole UK network. Last one was August 2015, but they still show up in racks

Don't know if it still helps, but a few years ago I asked for a national map, and they had none, but they did have hundreds of a separate version overprinted with information for those with accessibility issues. It was the same underlying map, and was very much overstocked, apparently because no-one had ever asked for it...
