This entirely new product is based on industry sources and puts today's national rail network into its geographic context. Developed from a series of maps produced by our cartographers for clients in the UK Rail Industry, 131 detailed diagrams describe a National Network Map showing the extent of the operating network and its infrastructure. The maps show track level detail in a schematic format set over geographic centre lines. Passenger and freight routes are shown together with their track formations including connections, crossovers and primary sidings. All stations appear with most signal boxes, junctions and tunnels including their names and railway mileages; most level crossings are included together with information describing their type. Complex areas are shown as larger scale insets. Colour is used to show electrified lines.

The original versions of these maps appear in control rooms, planning and maintenance offices of Network Rail, Train Operating Companies, contractors and government bodies. Although there are some sources common to the Quail Track Diagram series, this is an entirely new presentation concentrating on the National Network and there are only passing references to Heritage and private lines.

Included in the TRACKatlas is an account of the origin, history and significance of railway mileages as well as an extensive index containing over 9,000 locations. The maps are up to date at September 2009.

This Atlas provides an invaluable resource to industrial users and enthusiasts interested in the location and relationship between the railway routes of Britain.
