I'm looking for shapefiles of the British railway network from any time between 1900 and 1970 (before many of the railways were closed). There are many historical GIS sites (such as GBHGIS and Vision of Britain) but none of them seem to have any railway data.

1disused-stations.org.uk has maps showing closed railway stations and disused sections of railway. They may have shapefiles stashed away somewhere, or at least be able to point you in the right direction. – csk Jun 5 '18 at 21:47
