Just recently got this book and think it is a comprehensive atlas to the Rail Network of Great Britain and Ireland. It shows everything you'd expect it to show such as:
Main Lines
Light Railways
Tramways
Miniature Railways
Private Railways
Freight Railways
Stations
Crossings
Depots
Sidings
Also includes the Channel Tunnel Terminal at Folkstone. As far as I can see it doesn't seem to contain any errors or omissions so recommend this to all rail enthusiasts. Other reviewers for this and many other Railway atlas's/diagrams say Bakers Maps aren't the best, I tend to disagree.

Using Mr Baker's excellent up to date Rail Atlas of Britain and Ireland one can find where all the different railway tracks run, and whether they be for all rail traffic or freifgt only. Proposed future developments are also dotted in. It would be nice to see them all come to fruition. On Page 26 there is an excellent inset showing the layout of the tracks to St Pancras and King's Cross stations ~ very useful when used in conjuction with an aerial photograph to figure out which line goes where! A very good buy!

I have bought this series of books for many years and have always found them invaluable when planning and travelling around the country either on the train or by car to photograph the railway scene and also as a way of reflecting on the changes that have occured to our railway system over the years.
Highly recommended reference book for anyone interested in our railway system.
