Not yet finished, South England and Scotland very unfinished
Due to how it works routes are not actual routes, as to do that would take an extremely long time if we consider every combination of stopping trains (e.g. Avanti would have to have loads)
Colours are different operators, should hopefully be self-explanatory enough based on areas to most people here
Any questions feel free to ask

Not a fan of the user interface; the straight lines are difficult to interpret and far too thick. There needs to be some sort of inline naming, like what the National Rail Principal Route Map does.

the lines are indeed quite thick when zoomed far out
I'm not really using the site for its intended purpose so I'm entirely to blame for that
It's much more designed for Simpler or smaller systems
Inline naming would be a LOT of work to do, and if it used route names you'd end up seeing things like London Victoria - Sheerness-on-Sea just because that's a route I used to have to use less routes.

The network is basically just every TOC's map layered on top of each other (with the colour I gave them, that should be similar to a colour on their map, livery or logo and hopefully not overlap (limited colours))

It's not the best thing but I've put so much time into it that I want to finish it.
Obviously because I built it it's gonna be a lot easier for me to understand.

It's better on MacBook than on phone which I checked on earlier. Good Luck going forward.
