Originally published in 1977, this is the 15th edition of S.K. Baker’s Rail Atlas: Great Britain & Ireland, of one of the most successful and sought after railway titles ever published. It shows all the railways that currently make up the national railway networks of the British Isles, Lines open to all traffic and those used by freight only are differentiated, as are single track sections. The map pages also show heritage lines, freight terminals, light rail schemes, passenger stations, lines under construction and proposed lines.
Fully revised and updated to 2020 the Rail Atlas: Great Britain & Ireland 15th edition still retains the useful format established in previous editions. The mapping on each page overlaps with that on adjoining pages to make it easier to follow a long-distance route. Where appropriate, additional detailed inset maps have been drawn to show the complex railway developments in metropolitan areas such as London and Manchester.
An index map showing the coverage on every page is provided at the front of the book and a full index to stations at the rear of the book.
