It's far from perfect but is less overpowering than copying a map with too much detail on. Is it worth trying to develop it further by adding smaller villages & marking the stations?

The route of the Railway with links looks good & works very well. Sharpo (talk) 10:08, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
I gave up on the template idea, that's just a table with embedded images and links, which ends up looking and behaving the same.
At the moment, I can show the table with no borders, or I a can align it to the right, but not both at the same time.
For some reason, aligning it to the right puts a 1 pixel border round every cell, which shows up as breaks in the red line.

A "straight" diagram of the SVRSevern Valley Railway is always confusing, I think, as it is really a "U" shaped route. Gives the impression the mainline connection goes to the left at Kidder. I suppose the diagram could be made the shape of a reverse "J" but that might not fit the page so well, or may be more complicated? Just a suggestion! Sharpo (talk) 11:01, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
If at first you don't succeed, cheat.
It is now a 1x1 table with all the icons and links in the single cell, separated by line breaks. It seems to work.
I've labelled it as a schematic map, I'll still create an accurate geographic imagemap map as well, but I need a suitable map to base it on first.

That's a lot better than the OSOrdnance Survey map I used. I've turned it in to an imagemap with links.
There's a very basic map on the timetable brochure. [1]
There's a better one on the "From the window" leaflet, [2] I wonder if we could get permission to use it and have all three maps.
