Where would I get hold of maps of the UK rail network WITH the speed limits printed on?
It’s very unlikely there is a simple answer to this – the timetables change twice a year, and apart from the passenger trains Network Rail has to include timetabling of freight trains. One of my (web/PC) clients is a transport consultant that has a special interest in rail/intermodal (container on/off trains/trucks/ships) and he has some maps which show fine detail (for example, where points etc are on tracks) to assist with planning for new freight depots / signals etc. Not sure if rail companies supply them for specific jobs (eg having to extend all the platforms on a route to accommodate and 2 extra carriages on a passenger train)… I don’t think the maps have speed limits on and sometimes it will depend on the train too, I expect (because of the different lengths between wheels on freight trains/passenger trains, and how the trucks bump each other when slowing down/ going downhill). It’s a complex job to get any new trains into the schedule – there was no way to get from Anglesey
