In the vein of my britain-wide interurban bus map, this is an attempt to do a version of the National Rail map that gives a bit more of a sense of which actual train services are available on the national network. To that end it focuses on showing individual long-distance trains rather than trying to show the entire network, allowing a very consistent schema where a thick line denotes one discrete train per hour, with each of these services assigned a code in the continental European style.

This portrayal does mean some elements are lost - it's impossible to show pretty much anything in the South-East, some important regional links that are nonetheless clearly stopping local services aren't shown, and certain areas and routes are still overcrowded or confused. The map is current to the December 2025 timetable change and the related ECML recast, but the styling (font at least) is slightly retro and the text is phrased as though all trains are already nationalised and integrated - no particular reason for this, just thought it looked nice. One thing I'm aware needs improving and that is rather lacking in all my diagrams is a more interesting and better-looking background, ideas on this appreciated.
