English: About represented data

This map shows all railways owned by Network Rail, as well as some railways not owned by Network Rail but dedicated to long-distance travel and with technical similarities to Network Rail lines (ex. Channel Tunnel, Crossrail, etc). It does not show urban rail transit such as tram or underground lines. It noes not show closed or dismantled railways either.

On any particular railway section, speed limit shown on this map is the highest of all tracks, of both directions and of all types of trains allowed on this section.

Although all tracks may not be electrified on multiple-track lines, a railway section is shown as electrified as long as at least one track is electrified.

Short distance changes in the number of tracks or speed limit, as typically encountered near railway stations, junctions, sharp curves, bridges and tunnels, are not shown if they are approximately under 2 km or 1 mi.

For the sake of readability, this map may take into account the total number of tracks on certain common trunks whereas these are operated as several independent lines.

Français : Précisions sur les données représentées

Cette carte montre toutes les lignes de chemin de fer propriété du gestionnaire d'infrastructure britannique Network Rail, ainsi que quelques lignes dédiées au trafic de longue distance et possédant des caractéristiques techniques similaires (Tunnel sous la Manche, Crossrail, etc). Les lignes de tramway, métro, etc, ne sont pas représentées, de même que les lignes fermées ou déclassées.

La vitesse maximale représentée pour un tronçon de ligne est toujours celui de la voie la plus rapide, dans la direction la plus rapide, pour le type de trains le plus rapide parmi ceux autorisés sur la ligne.

Une section de ligne est représentée comme électrifiée dès lors qu'au moins une voie est électrifiée.

Les changements de courte distance dans le nombre de voies ou la vitesse maximale autorisée (notamment à la traversée de certaines gares, à des jonctions, dans des courbes de faible rayon, sur des ponts ou des tunnels) ne sont pas représentés si leur longueur est inférieure à 2 km ou 1 mi approximativement.

Par souci de lisibilité, cette carte peut prendre en compte le nombre total de voies de certains troncs communs alors que ceux-ci sont exploités comme plusieurs lignes indépendantes.
