My issue with "National Rail" was that, to me, (as I explained to the
Peruvian chap who's edited Mansfield Woodhouse station):
"National Rail" means these people: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ ,
also http://www.atoc.org/
It's just an industry association of the various Train Operating
Companies. They don't own, operate or have any direct involvement with
the British rail _network_.
The only place I've heard "national rail"* used is in London to refer to
non-underground stations (and even there, you still here "British Rail
station"). Everyone else says "Railway".
I don't think that "network=network_rail" works either, as there will
inevitably by issues in London where NR works on infrastructure for TfL
Overground services.
So "network=railway" for me, since that's probably the best description
of what it actually is.
Cheers,
Andy
* in lower case, where "national" simply means "non-underground", and is
a description rather than a name.
