I don't think this has been mentioned before, but if it has apologies for the repetition. Network Rail now have complete track plans of their entire network available for public access on their website.
As well as showing all track and point work, they also include all junctions, level crossings (and type), miscellaneous location names, line speed limits (with differentials for different traction where appropriate), platform lengths, radio channel numbers, controlling signal boxes and an eclectic mix of restrictions (such as a note stating 'up trains conveying vehicles with 15 feet or less wheelbase not to exceed 35mph between Queen Adelaide and Ely'), Route Availability numbers and so on. TfL and other operators' route are shown where they run next to or connect to Network Rail infrastructure.
Truly a mine of information, to while away many a dark winter evening. Go to Network Rail (www.networkrail.co.uk) and follow the links > For Business > Passenger Services > Network Capability > Baseline Declaration > Track and Route Mileage - PDF files for each area are available, but be warned they are VERY large (8 files adding up to over 1GB total).

I would warn readers that they are not the most intuitive plans to follow. Interesting, nevertheless.

I wonder if there are as many errors on the plans as there are on the actual network.......

They are a relatively recent dump of the online Sectional Appendix so if there are errors in those, then there are errors on this lot...

The section for the DC lines still references LUL trains way past Harrow Weald.
