Something like this? https://www.map.signalbox.io/?location=@53.95756,-1.09381,9Z
There are more diagrammatic style maps if you're interested in the signalling side of things as well.

Kind of - I was thinking more of a map version of a page like this: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:H37846/2023-03-04/detailed#allox_id=0 showing a line going from Blyth to Fort William through all the points it passes through.
Word of warning to anyone that looks at this: the "locations" of trains on here are just calculated off the timetable and generic acceleration/deceleration values rather than actually being live.

How about this Chrome extension for the RTT website? There’s one or two small glitches for routes that traverse the Marches, but overall it’s a very good add-on:

Click on the service you want, there’s a map icon in the top right. That plots the route
That looks like just the thing! Thanks. I've tried it now and it seems to do what I want it to.How about this Chrome extension for the RTT website? There’s one or two small glitches for routes that traverse the Marches, but overall it’s a very good add-on:
Thanks everyone else for your suggestions, I'll take a look at them too.
Nope - no map icon top right
oops - my mistake, inadvertantly reverted to Firefox. Now that I'm in Chrome it shows...

Just tried it but unfortunately it says 'No routing points found' for every train I've found, I've tried a lot of different TOCs and stations now 
Edit: Seems to only work in detailed view. Amazing extension though
