Hello
I am trying to create the current layout at Manchester Piccadilly. Does anyone know where I can get the track layout from as I want to make it as close to realistic as possible.
At the moment I am getting started with the station. To say that it is entertaining is a massive understatement.
Thank you
Lyndon
Other than Network Rail (fat chance I expect [1]) I suspect one of the large scale Ordinance survey maps (as used by City planners etc.) might well show the track layout.
[1] in good old BR days one could request such maps from the chief civil engineers dept's....I don't fancy my chances with Network Rail. I'm going try but I don't hold a great deal of hope. Now they all hind behind Data Protection and Public Security.
It's just madness. All I want is a little information nothing overly important.

Try Ordnance survey
You need a Quail map. Unfortunately they're all being reprinted at the moment. Fortunately, when they are, they will be current to January
2005. Just right for you!Expensive too I should think :)

Read the thread before wasting bandwidth !...
I though, WTF, the OP was asking about obtaining a map / track diagram - I then followed the URL anyway.....
WOW ! Thanks for that, it looks like a real time waster though ! :~))

Lyndon,
Not heard of the Freedom of information act 2000 which came in on Jan 1st
2005? Providing within reason it is not a classified document, i.e. has personal details in, companies are now obliged to provide the information requested, although there may be a fee!May be worth reading
No they aren't. /Public bodies/ are. And we all know Network Rail is a private company (BTW, anyone know what the Emperor is wearing today?).
Err, in this age of 'The War on Terror' I wish you all the best !...
I can imagine the response: "This information is commercially sensitive. We cannot divulge it because one of our rivals might use it to build an identical station to compete with us."
