Vintage Style Railway Map Series
Self-initiated project | 2019-2022 | Adobe Illustrator
These detailed maps of the modern-day railway networks in Great Britain, Greater London and the Iberian Peninsula take their inspiration from vintage railway maps of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. All railways are represented by solid black lines, with stations marked with dots or circles; larger circles generally represent larger cities or important interchanges.
The designs are available as prints from my online store: shop.thisismikehall.com/collections/railway-maps
