train map OK February 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This map is missing a few things. For example, I have no idea how long any route will take. There are some express lines in bold, and some local lines in thin print. But there's no chart to let you know how long the various journeys or point-to-point might take. I'm used to the time charts in the Triple A guide books. While you can get detailed train information on the national rail website, you can't sit down in January and find out the timetable for August. Surely after 150 years of rail, people know if a train should arrive in an hour or five.
The map needs an index of stations.
The colors of the various lines are hard to differentiate.
You can't tell if a Britrail pass covers the routes or not.
The paper is the worst. The seams rip after about three foldings, yet it is too stiff to refold to a convenient section.
