LONDON RAILWAY ATLAS

With historically more than a dozen main line termini as well as both surface and underground lines, the railway network of London is the most complex in Britain. In the 21st century, although some lines and stations have disappeared, most notably termini such as Holborn Viaduct and Broad Street, the vast bulk of the London railway network continues to play a pivotal role in the daily life of the city. Moreover, as pressure on the road network expands, there is continuing investment in the railway infrastructure that serves London through, for example, expansion of the Docklands Light Railway.

The new London Railway Atlas provides the reader with a straightforward and comprehensible study of the railways of Greater London. It shows all lines, both open and closed, stations, changes of station name and station opening and closing dates. Its comprehensive coverage includes both ex-BR and London Underground tracks. The geographical relationship between the two is also easily ascertained from the maps. This atlas will be of particular interest to those in London but given that so much of the national network is focused towards London, it will be of value to both railway enthusiasts and those in the industry, throughout the country.
