A backward step
Well it's two years late, so I expected a lot more, particularly as the BLS have had a hand in the books production.So what's gone wrong?Several glaring errors in book 14 haven't been corrected, namely: -Page 44 - the line from Doncaster Decoy Yard (Potteric Carr Jn) to Low Ellers Curve Jn is missing in it's entirity (as it was in the 2015 release)On the same inset, the chord from Black Carr Jn - Bessacarr Jn remains 'red' when the line regained its passenger services some time agoPage E12 - the down Ilford avoider is shown as passenger carrying, as it has for many of the atlas's releases, when it's not had a passenger service for more than two decadesLittle things niggle as well - the Cottam branch has, rightly, been removed, however the junction 'bar' and the name remain at Clarborough Jn.And these are just the errors I've noticed over 15 minutes browsing areas which I know fairly well - how many more inacurracies are there?But by far the worst issue is the truly backwards step, in my opinion, of colouring the NR elements in light grey in the expanded sections of London, thus rendering them poorly in a visual sense. I'm assuming this is as a result of the desire to colour code the individual TFL lines according to TFL's own branding - i.e. yellow for Circle etc. Indeed, as expected, the Northern line has adopted black. However, this approach still makes little sense as whilst the Central line has, as expected, adopted red, red is still used for NR's non passenger lines!Very dissapointing I'm afraid

Shows the main railways of UK
I would have preferred more background detail.... Like in a regular map. However, together with an atlas/map it is informative

Rail atlas
These are maps of all rail networks, including city tram networks, in the UK and Ireland. Not only that but heritage railways as well. There is a mine of other information as well so if railway and trains are your thing then this is a very useful book to have. This is the 15th edition printed in 2020. It is 25cm x 18cm.
