Spot the difference.

I recently emailed the creator of the National Rail All Stations map with some observations, lots of which have resulted in changes. It's up to you lot to play spot the difference!

http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/static/do ... apzoom.pdf *Old version*
http://www.projectmapping.co.uk/Resourc ... 202014.pdf *New version*

Have fun!

(and if you spot any errors/omissions that remain on the new one perhaps you can email the creator like I did!)

Eh, the old version's link has already been updated. Which is a good thing for the website, but is a rubbish thing for this quiz that nobody cares about. Oh well! :P

I have always maintained that this is the worst rail map I have ever seen. Even worse than Harold F. Hutchinson's map that eventually replaced Beck's design in 1961.

It's the only map with all the stations on it, though.

Well, you say it has all the stations on it. It doesn't! :O

It took me so long to download the map that I gave up!

Only one that I know of. Brand new Energlyn and Churchill Park- between Aber and Llanbradach. Opened in December.

I notice that on both versions it says 'LU Docklands Light Railway,' which is surely wrong.

Did they change it because you suggested they should, or did they just change it on their own?

Because I suggested it! That and numerous other changes.
