"The railway network across Britain and Ireland is constantly evolving, so it's no surprise then that the Rail Atlas of Great Britain and Ireland is now in its 16th edition. Long compiled by Stuart Baker, following his death in 2020, the previous edition was completed by railway cartographer Joe Brown. Now, in this latest edition, Brown takes full editorial control for the first time."
"Despite the new editor, it retains the core ingredients of a railway atlas, showing up the old and the new in 112 pages of maps, plus a lengthy stations index at the rear. The main changes, such as the rebuilding of the Oxford-Cambridge route and the reinstatement of Ireland's Foynes branch, are among the new additions incorporated into the maps. Brown's detailed insets for complex city networks-including Manchester and Nottingham-make this edition particularly useful for those interested in metropolitan rail operations."
"The early format remains a key part of the Atlas's enduring appeal, and each map continues to overlap with neighbouring pages, allowing you to follow long-distance routes with ease. The atlas has been out for a short time, but it has sold out, so a reprinted edition will be released next month. You can pre-order the updated edition direct from the publisher here or from Amazon here."
