• Georgemas Junction shown wrongly
• Junction south of Perth wrong
• WCML Carlisle - Glasgow shown wrongly as running via Kilmarnock
• Whitby branch should run from Middlesbrough
• Bradford shown wrongly on Airedale line
• Sheffield in wrong place, should be above junction above towards Doncaster
• Shrewsbury - Wolverhanpton wrongly shown joining WCML Trent Valley line
• Limited detail Birmingham and Manchester and Glasgow not showing multiple main stations
• South Wales Main Line wrongly shown running via Vale of Glamorgan line
• Ebbw Vale line shown incorrectly entering Newport
• Stansted Airport branch junction should be delta junction
• West London line should join Victoria - Brighton main line at Clapham Junction not Gatwick Airport
• Crossrail and Thameslink shown as principal lines rather than other main routes making London look wrong
• Bath - Westbury - Salisbury - shown as principal as is Southampton - Havant but should be local
• Charing Cross in wrong place
• Junction north of Eastbourne shown wrongly
• Dovey Junction wrong
• Birmingham International Airport wrongly named without aircraft symbol

Inconsistent selection of lines shown, ie Blaenau Ffestiniog but no Llandudno, Crewe - Stoke but no Stoke - Derby, no Kings Lynn or  Sleaford routes, Reading - Redhill (shown as Gatwick) but no Redhill - Tonbridge - Ashford. Whitby but no Saltburn. Random selection of branches in Cornwall and Devon. No Manchester - Crewe, no Birmingham - Worcester via Stourbridge. No Wigan or Warrington or Bridgend. Etc etc.

Inconsistent use of major stations as nodes - for example lines radiate from Stratford, Basingstoke and Grimsby (and thereby not showing correct routings) but not at Brighton. Probably more.

Whilst one expects a certain amount of simplification, design rules chosen should be consistent. For example, many delta (triangular) junctions are not shown, eg Stansted and Manningtree. Llanelli and Heathrow Airport Junction could be interpreted as delta junctions but are not.

Curves are inconsistent, for example look either side of Oxenholme. Unnecessary bendy lines, ie Preston - Manchester, Birmingham - Worcester.

Multiple stations not shown at Canterbury, Yeovil, Wakefield, Bradford.

30º / 60º map showing direct routes from Derby. Schematic design shows natural shape of Great Britain.

Doug Rose used these angles on this Derby centric diagram. "Drawing the UK at 45-degrees looks unsettling and is difficult to construct, because it is unsuited to what is being portrayed" he has said.

• Uses National Rail Enquiries official map as a base - no reference to copyright
• No CrossCountry, particularly Oxford-Reading-Basingstoke
• No interchange symbol at Shrewesbury or Tamworth
• Strange WCML split with purple line not going through Wolverhampton
• Out of date, still shows Eurostar going to Waterloo
• Unecessary line duplication Paddington - South Walea, Leeds - Manchester and York - Edinburgh
• Many other glitches and misinterpretations

Bit of a mess really.
