Exploring the Iconic London Train Map
Interactive Train Maps
The city’s transport network thrives on its train system, and this rail guide is your go-to resource. Launched under National Rail in the 1990s, it links major hubs like Waterloo with suburbs such as Watford, serving millions every day. As iconic as the Thames or a red bus, this tool helps both locals and visitors move around with ease. What began as scattered lines evolved into a unified system, now enhanced by the Elizabeth Line since 2022. As of March 2025, the network covers more than 300 stations across Zones 1–6 and beyond.

A history of our Trains
This network handles 1.5 million daily journeys, according to the Office of Rail and Road. The Elizabeth Line now connects Heathrow to the centre in under an hour, and 24-hour weekend services were introduced in 2024. With contactless payment now accepted across all routes, travel has never been more convenient.
Making the Most of the Train Map
This travel planner makes navigating simple—whether you’re commuting to Clapham, heading to Brighton, or venturing into quieter neighbourhoods like Richmond. The interactive version helps plan routes with live updates, while the downloadable PDF is ideal for offline access in low-signal zones. More than just transport, the system reveals how Clapham Junction handles over 2,000 weekly trains, how the Elizabeth Line slashes airport transfer times, and where to catch the best views on a Thameslink ride.

With the upgrades coming in 2025—including 24-hour weekend trains and better accessibility—it’s the perfect time to explore. Scroll through the interactive tool, grab the PDF, and start your rail adventure, whether it’s a weekday commute or a weekend escape.
