Network Rail Routes

[Spartacus]

Does anyone know where I could find info on the current Network rail route areas, specifically their boundary points to each other?

The only stuff I've been able to find are either vague maps or outdated.

Thanks, S.

Sectional appendix?

First page of each sectional appendix shows what areas are covered and the route boundaries?

Can find free, up to date pdf copies of the sectional appendix if you just search for them on Google.

I've looked, but from what I've seen the ones I've looked at so far only have the vague maps I referred to, not the exact locations, such as Marshall Meadows for example, and don't align to current Network Rail route areas either.

East Mids/LNE always tricky!

Yeah, the ECML bisecting East Mids now is rather a strange one!

The only thing I can think of showing the boundaries are the Quail maps, but they're not really an official source...

The second section of the sectional appendix will have basic line diagrams and speed restrictions with an exact mile and chain for the route boundaries. Attached is an example for where Anglia meets LNE East of Peterborough.

There's probably not a catch all map of it so you would have to look through each sectional appendix separately but lucky for you they are all publicly available.

You also have the issue that in various cases the boundaries differ for operational, signalling, and maintenance purposes.

Correct the Route boundaries shown in the SA are nominal boundaries

The boundaries are all different for Signalling, Track etc.

North and East route interacts with East Coast and has a lot of interfaces

Tyne Valley line, Northumberland Line, LEN on the Durham Coast and LEN from
Northallerton, Harrogate Line, Stillington Branch, YMS out of York, Hambleton Junction all change to North and East from East Coast at some point.

It can be a nightmare planning sometimes!

Each region has its own document, and all the relevant references to the next region are given at the end of one region's route.
