London Railway Atlas

Permalink | 03/09/09 | Categories: Railways, State of the ART | by: A Sharp English (UK)

I was much impressed by the second edition of the London Railway Atlas, a work of love by Joe Brown published by Ian Allen in 2009.

It gives track diagrams of the past, present and (where known) future rail networks in the Greater London area - a mammoth task.

The only defect I could find was that Heathrow Junction, the short-lived temporary station used prior to opening of Heathrow Express, had been put on the wrong side of the line! Email correspondence with the author revealed that he found it extremely difficult to find out exactly where the station had been: he'd guessed and will correct it for next time.

But all in all, it's a stunning piece of work!

I got mine from Amazon. No doubt specialist bookshops (like Ian Allen) would have it on their shelves, as might bookstores at major London termini. Failing that, no doubt Waterstones would order it for you.
