National rail enquires used to provide interactive station maps, these maps were far from perfect (in particular they were laid out with everything at right angles, even when the real stations were somewhat more curvy), but they did provide a useful way to explore the facilities and routes available at stations.
However in recent times it seems the maps on national rail enquires have become a horrible mess, some of them have been replaced with static maps, which provide much less information. Others still have the interactive maps but they are often woefully out of date. For example at Cheadle Hulme the map does not show the footbridge that was built in 2011 or the ticket machines (IIRC the one on platform 1 was put in as part of the penalty fares stuff a year or so ago, but the one near the carpark has been there much longer).
Does anyone know the reason for this decline? Is there a better source for station maps?
