Maps of Britain’s railways, drawn by GB Trains from the site’s own data: London’s lines at their real positions, coloured by line or by their trains, and where the trains from London’s termini go.

20 lines through 457 stations and interchanges, each at its real position, from TfL’s open data (2026-10-07; Powered by TfL Open Data). Lines that share stations run side by side; between stations they’re drawn straight, so curves and tunnels are simplified. Drawn by GB Trains, not an official map.

The 13 London termini, each in its own colour (the site’s own, not official, and not any operator’s livery); select one to open its page. Inside the circle the termini, the Thames and the railways are in their real directions from the centre of London, with distances true at the edge (6 miles, 10 km, out) and stretched towards the middle; only King’s Cross is nudged, about 1,000 ft east of St Pancras. Outside it, each route splits to the parts of the country it serves, at their compass bearings. Point at a line to see who runs it; white dashes are in tunnel. The termini themselves are on the Stations page. River: © OpenStreetMap contributors.
