Thank youhttp://www.openrailwaymap.org/ has some data, you'll have to zoom in to see it.
The New Adlestrop Railway Atlas is an excellent freely downloadable PDF showing current and historic railways. It doesn't cover the whole of the UK but it is a work in progress still being updated.

Thanks due to Richard Fairhurst for his efforts in producing this. Really useful if you download a copy for when you have no internet connection.
It's been at least two years since the last update, as far as I know, so I'm not entirely sure that it is still being updated after all.
A shame, as it's a very useful resource.
Wow! Just saw the progress made, especially around Liverpool. It has been many more than 2 years; I had thought Mr. Fairhurst gave up on updating.
Wow! Just saw the progress made, especially around Liverpool. It has been many more than 2 years; I had thought Mr. Fairhurst gave up on updating. There are some mistakes (I pointed out a few to the author years ago), but it is, without doubt, one of the best resources around, and I've been looking for 25 years or more. Wonderful to see the progress! Sam
This is rather a good website:

thanks - that is really rather interesting. It must have been a mammoth task to create
I too am impressed at the new map. The previously updated map I saw in this series was back in 2009. I had given up any further work on this map. I am a fan of rail maps, and this is one project I'd love to see completed.
The above is in reference to the updated New Adlestrop Map, by Mr. Fairhurst. The updated map is a great improvement; one caveat: the invaluable "Find" function, which I use extensively to pinpoint stations, is not functioning correctly; it does not bring the requested station to the center, sometimes not even close. If anyone is in contact with the author, could you ask him to fix this bothersome glitch? This function always worked faultlessly on the old map. Sam
I've often thought that would be very interesting, but if there is such a map, I haven't found it yet.I am sure I saw a map where you could select the year range and it would show the railways in existence at that time
Does anyone know its address?
Just uploaded a nice big update to the New Adlestrop:

NB If you're viewing it with Firefox's built in PDF viewer it may come out very blurry at 100% zoom, this is clearly a bug in Firefox because it displays fine in the Adobe PDF viewer if you download it.
