Might be worth looking at the vector version https://openrailwaymap.app/#view=7.75/51.337/-0.585.
The Open Historical Map might also be of interest, although seems to be very much a work in progress https://www.openhistoricalmap.org/#map=9/51.461/-0.703&layers=O&date=1837-11-15&daterange=1825-01-01,2025-12-31

Great link, thanks.
Click on 'Max Speeds' and it shows very clearly how far behind the rest of western Europe we are.

Same with electrification, where India seems well ahead of us.
That's me down the rabbit hole for a few hours...

I suspect that many forum members will already know about this, but I was recently directed to a very useful resource: OpenRailwayMap (https://openrailwaymap.org)
As well as giving what appears to be a good up-to-date map of the railway network, it also has some very useful additional data such as lines speeds, ELRs, signalling, electrification status etc. Those winter evenings will fly by!
