The latest map to be added to www.opentraintimes.com/maps is one from Exeter to Liskeard which I thought might be interesting to our members in the west.  That's as far west as can be done due to the older style of signalling. 

You can view the same area on www.railcam.uk which also now covers the whole route from Exeter to Waterloo, and on the GWML (Great Western Main Line) as far east as Reading via both Bristol and Westbury, though that incurs a ^10 annual subscription.  Well worth it in my opinion though!

I look at both Opentraintimes and Railcam maps. 

I prefer the brighter style of the OTT (Open Train Times website) ones.  Sometimes, particularly when you are out and about, the Railcam ones can be hard to see.  In some areas where the information is available the OTT maps show whether the signals are at danger or showing a proceed aspect.  What would be good in the future is the ability to see which route has been set through junctions.

Not all train describers output the data which I use to show signal aspects and routes set.  Plymouth, for example, only had 'route berth' support for two signals.  Paddington, on the other hand, has signals and routes, as does nearly all the resignalled areas on the GWML (Great Western Main Line).

There will be more maps of the South West soon, and they'll continue to be free for public use!

I've 'liked' all of the posts in this topic so far, Poggs - and many thanks for your news of further enhancements!  Wink Cheesy Grin

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Any chance of using a different symbol to represent LD3 and LD35 (if you have the time) since they are semaphores?
