Show us your network maps

Hope you enjoy, some constructive criticism might be good as I've never had much feedback on my maps.

Your maps are so good that there isn't really any constructive criticism that anybody could give!

Thanks, I used to think my old maps were quite good then I look back at them and realise they're not, it's quite hard to judge your own work.

Indeed your map is nice but it might need a little more colour

Another map from the same region. This time it's my InterCity network which is operated by 100mph EMUs on the 'vanilla' trunk lines and 187mph sets on the three express lines.

Oh my goodness. I love it!

Would like to see some screenshots if you have any?

Thanks! Here's two for you, one of my network map and one of the main city, Oxford and the surrounding area.

Wow. Thats' a great network.

Oxford suburban services look great. Close-up?

Oxford Queen St station showing the departures. It's a shame I find it harder to get more than once-an-hour services going without causing irredeemable congestion or unrealistically huge stations.

North of Oxford QS is this junction showing 2 Intercity trains coming in from Yelvertoft on the fast line and regional trains coming in from Blaydon. You'll notice that some services are missing from the departure board, that's because I got bored of this map and started a new one before I'd put trains on all the lines, also some trains going along the coast skip this station.

I think this is a pretty realistic shot of the region in question. Makes me quite happy to look at even if I'm slightly sick of the sight of it.

^How did you get the 'regional' and 'intercity' words on the board?

I added the trains to groups called those things then used the options menu to make the boards display train groups.

The Elmstead Junction shot is brilliant, picked up some signalling tips!

I love the idea here, so I made a map of my current game using Wikipedia. Red is the rail tracks while blue are truck routes. It's an interesting thought problem of how to make a complex 2D network into a simplified, almost 1D representation...

Enjoy!

I love this network map! What application did you use to create it?

Thanks! I used Adobe Illustrator.

I've decided to change my mapping style a bit.
Drawing a separate line for each train route clutters things up far too much on a non-trivially sized network.

that is brilliant! what did you use? Anyone have a tutorial on how to make maps like this?

Many thanks :3
I used MS Visio 2003, and I don't know of any tutorials out there.
Best to just experiment and see what style/mechanism works for you IMO.

Here is my network map, made in photoshop from a save me and a mate have been working on:

[teccuk]

Wahoo! New map!

I like the style, different.
