Perhaps you could buy a Rail Atlas? I think some editions have junction names, etc marked and they include all railways including some out of use ones too.
I have the Ian Allan British Railways Atlas by M.G. Ball. They're usually around eBay for quite cheap. They're from 1995, but I don't think there's really any problems with them.
The book shows...
Passenger and freight lines.
All passenger stations
Enlargements of major centres
Preserved railways
Disused and mothballed lines
Proposed lines (which I find rather annoying tbh)
Full gazetteer of stations
Overall I'd say they're great little things, and mine was only £2.50!
