The Trackmaps are ok in showing you what is in the real railway.
But there is no guarantee the routes in the game will be similar.

Thank-you guys.yes some routes seem poetic in licence! but I'am really enjoying placing a train and getting it go the right way and on the right track.for example, I wrote a scenario to go from Swindon to LLanwern via Bristol Parkway. The editor routed me via the Badminton up main? looking at Trackmap and finding the correct route solved that,not knowing the area it saved the day.
