Jumping on the @thetrainmap bandwagon. Slightly different for me as I'm not train crew on the big railway. 1. Routes I cover in control 2. Routes I sign/have worked as a heritage railway guard #railwayfamily #railway #trains

Very late to the party with this, largely because I've tried (and failed) to add a couple of lines that are no longer through routes.

Two new features on your maps. Draw routes over freight-only lines, and give your map a key that shows what is passenger and what is freight. What feature do you want to see next? Tell us in the comments. Draw yours at trainmap.app

Replying to @thetrainmap
@thetrainmap I've done one of these in the past but given everyone else has now joined the bandwagon I thought I would re-share with an addition I didnt include last time. Quite small geographically compared to a lot but still early in my career.
