I too prefer a book but there is no denying that to be able to zoom in on specific areas and see the overlay on a satellite view or an old map is very useful. Both have their uses, especially as the looming energy gap will mean more regular and longer power cuts and having been without power for three days a few years ago books proved their worth :)


And a website can easily be corrected if someone reports an error or omission.


A clearing house book will not have errors or omissions but a web site as a secondary source might well have. But that said I agree that ommisions etc can be updated.

You can tell a builder from an archaeologist by the size of his trowel. Mine is a small one!

The nice thing with the railamponline site is you can turn off the historic mapping overlay, which gives you the old OS mapping from NLS.
