Just looking in here and thought I might blow the dust off this thread
With the news that Adlestrop is going to be updated to include more of the North and Scotland ,also our very own Richard Fairhurst has been having a Choo Choo Chat with Geoff Marshal from All The Stations ,more about the Atlas and map type things in the link below

It was great fun chatting to Geoff. We poked around a couple of stations on the Cotswold Line and could probably have chatted for hours more if we'd had the time. Slightly freaky to go to YouTube today and see that 7,230 people have watched the interview so far!

Just one comment: I think the web address is slightly unfortunate. "Systemed" does sound (or rather, look) as if it's peddling dodgy meds...

Perhaps more seriously, the distinction between "line out of use" and "disused line" is not terribly clear. I guess you deliberately didn't use "dismantled line" (as seen on OS▸ (Ordnance Survey) maps) because some disused lines might still have track in place.

I registered systemed.net (after the French phrase "système D") back in 1999, way before anyone was selling dodgy medicines on the internet. It's been my web and email address for 20 years so I'm not changing it now! Cheesy

Judging by the dodgy spelling and vocabulary I see in some of the emails from said companies I doubt many of the senders were even born in 1999!

I've realized my French is so rusty I can't even say "I've learnt something today".

I've just uploaded an update to my (very long-standing) New Adlestrop Railway Atlas:

https://www.systemed.net/atlas/

Cumbria, (the rest of) Yorkshire, and other bits and bobs. Including Okehampton marked as a full-service passenger line!

Well done, Richard.  It is an excellent resource I use quite regularly.

Thanks! I genuinely enjoy working on it, and this update particularly... all those long-lost lines across the north Pennines.

That's great, thanks Richard  - looking forward to the North east and Scotland!

A tiny point of detail if I may - can you include the former Coley branch from Southcote Junction please? And the Westward Ho!, Bideford and Appledore?

Following on from your link ,the version I get doesn't seem to show the Settle To Carlisle line yet any plans for this to continue northwest?.

Note to add ,I've now been able to make this link work Thanks again Richard.

Um the version I get does show it.  Do you need to clear the cache on your browser?

And a year later... here's another update:

https://www.systemed.net/atlas/

It now includes the north-east - which means England is complete. (Newcastle was pretty complex!) Plus a few tendrils into the Borders, and various changes/updates/corrections around the country.
