The OPC Rail Atlas of Great Britain and Ireland was first published in 1977 and has, over the years, proved itself to be one of the most successful railway titles ever published. The book portrays the railway network on the British Isles, differentiating between passenger and freight lines, as well as between single and multi-track sections. It also shows preserved lines, freight terminals, LRT schemes, passenger stations, lines under construction, proposed lines, depots, etc. As such the book is an essential work of reference for both enthusiasts and professionals. This new edition is fully updated to reflect the developments in railway and LRT infrastructure due for completion by 2013 as well as those schemes currently under development. It includes the fruits of the current Network Rail investment plan, including the proposed electrification of the ex-GWR main line to Bristol and South Wales, the completion of the first phase of the Edinburgh LRT scheme, the continued extension of the LRTs in Greater Manchester and Nottingham, and indications as to the proposed HS2 high-speed line from London to the Midlands.

Essential reference for both enthusiasts and profesionals

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 17 June 2013

Verified Purchase

This the latest version, the first was in 1977. It has all the latest developments and many of the plans which enable the enthusiast to check out where they are on their journey.

What is surprising is the vast amount of freight facilities that exist and the large number of Civil Engineer sidings in all sorts of odd corners. As it states in the introduction the amount of rail development over the next twenty years or so in the UK is probably at an all time high in the last 150 years!

It is compact enough to carry round, with enlarged areas where there area lot of lines. I note it also includes Ireland these days as well.

It does not have historic information but a copy of Cobb's Historical Atlas fulfills that need but is hardly portable!

On the back it says "essential reference for both enthusiast and professionals" and I agree.

Essential companion to UK rail travel for enthusiasts.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 28 June 2013

Verified Purchase

Having bought the "Baker" atlases since no.1 in 1977 its a case of keeping up the collection. Although full of updates and changes showing the current railway network and extensions in the build or planning stage there are the usual glaring errors that seem to perpetuate from previous editions. An example would be the carriage sidings shown at Tonbridge on page 12 beside the Hastings line these were removed nearly 20 years ago or Shewalton Tip on page 77 that went nearly 12 years ago. I can understand recent changes slipping through but not long standing ones. Minor discrepancies you might well say but in a reference books of this nature appealing to the Rail Enthusiast market it just appears sloppy. The definitive work in the railway mapping field is undoubtedly the Quail Map Co. / Track Maps regional books but these are diagrammatic where as the "Baker Rail Atlas" has always been based on geographical maps so fills a market need. I would still recommend the book to friends but feel the people compiling the book should pay more attention to detail in the future and thus avoid needless mistakes.

An essential for all those with an interest in UK & Irish railways

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 11 September 2013

Verified Purchase

This updated edition of "The Baker" includes not only recent changes to the railway system but the many proposed projects ranging in scale from HS2 and Crossrail to reopenings of stations such as Lea Bridge and ilkeston. While not showing the detail found in the trackwork diagram type publications this, as with previous editions,is an invaluable reference work whether for carrying around on days out or as an aid while reading articles in the contempary railway press. Highly recommended and very good value for money.

I found the fit of this product particularly pleasing. Goes well with my other evening wear and will compliment most shoes in my wardrobe. The instructions are a bit hard to understand but once I had mastered them, I was cooking on gas.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 1 July 2014

Verified Purchase

This new edition shows a lot of the hoped-for new developments in the British and Irish railways systems, which is very useful, but how many of them will materiaize on the ground remains to be seen. I remember after world war 2 the maps of the London underground system showed lines that were never built.

Another excellent atlas

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 20 September 2013

Verified Purchase

I have purchased this atlas about five times since it started being produced.
It gives me exactly the information I want without going into too much detail about track layouts around junctions etc.
The maps are up to date.
It also includes routes for projects in the pipeline, for example HS2.
Well worth the money.

It's a shame about many of the mistakes in this book, sometimes quite silly mistakes such as wrong colours.
But never mind about those, these are the best books for small pocket sized maps
