For the thirtieth* #30MapsInAMonth are maps showing the electrification of the global heavy-rail network based on the track-model and electrification and electrification tags from @openstreetmap
An electric railway is the least carbon-intensive way of moving freight and passengers over long distances**. More so where the electricity generation is from renewable sources.

For the twenty ninth #30MapsInAMonth are two visualisations based on the @WorldPopProject 2030 projected population as 100m² raster data. The first shows the population of the Islands of Northern Europe and the second population change.

The first is a Leeds Digital festival talk about a fully automated European luxury high-speed railway https://youtu.be/xFLuUO3YBBE
The second is about visualisation of Office of Rail and Road data https://youtu.be/CZm-6ahj1TU

For the twenty first #30MapsInAMonth are two maps showing concerts played by the experimental music group Einstürzende Neubauten using the band icon.
The two maps show all concerts in European and the world and is based on geolocation using data from https://www.fromthearchives.com/en/chronology1.html.

For the twentieth #30MapsInAMonth are a set of map using @openstreetmap and @ordnancesurvey Survey to look at rivers and streams in the Islands of Northern Europe.
These three maps show difference scales and how different tags affect the maps.
-
For the nineteenth #30MapsInAMonth are a set of map using different coordinate system projections of Natural Earth railway data https://www.naturalearthdata.com/
The four maps represent points on the oblate-spheroid that is the Earth on a surface. The first uses latitude and longitude in °, the rest are in meters. The second is commonly used on the web, the third a projection for Europe and the final is the UK Ordnance Survey map projection.

For the eighteenth #30MapsInAMonth are a set of four animated simulations of a three body solar system. Where the mass of the two planetary bodies and the initial offset angle is varied, and correspond to the three numbers at the top of the simulation.
This was inspired by my daughter's final year degree project and, although rare, shows how you can have some things go spectacularly wrong sometimes, or not.
-
For the seventeenth #30MapsInAMonth are four maps revising rail electrification using Vega-lite https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/, a tool I had never used before the weekend.
As before, this uses tagged @openstreetmap railway data, but this uses a topological (TopoJSON) version, which can then be quantised to give different levels of granularity.

For the sixteeth #30MapsInAMonth are two map showing the watershed shortest walking route to the heavy rail stations in Britian. This uses @openstreetmap highway, road and path data for routing, scaled to show the number people who might take that path.
The first shows routes based on @WorldPopProject 1km² data
The second shows routes based on data from the UK #Census2021#Rail #Passenger #PublicTransport #GreatBritain #OpenData #30dayMapChallenge

For the fifteenth #30MapsInAMonth are two sets of map for electrical power transmission mostly on the Islands of Northern Europe.
Based on OpenStreetMap, the first set show the high-voltage transmission cables and lines, and then second of these with wind-turbines.
The second set shows #OpenData from @nationalgriduk and Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) data. 1/n

For the fourteenth #30MapsInAMonth is a map showing high-speed rail, or not, for a given value of "Europe". This is based on line-speed from @openstreetmap tagged data. The geography is from the @WorldPopProject 1km² dataset.
-
For the thirteenth #30MapsInAMonth are two short form maps based on Tom Forth's https://www.tomforth.co.uk/circlepopulations/ tool that shows the population within a 100km radius circle of two points in the UK: a point in the North is 20 141 911 and West London is 22 625 112. This is based on @opendatabund Street Map data and @CopernicusEU EU Global Human Settlement (GHS) layer centre data.
-
For the twelfth #30MapsInAMonth is a theoretical future public transport network for a hundred years hence. This is based on population density aggregating @WorldPopProject population data onto 43km edge-length hexagons, creating a network flow and overlaying with @CopernicusEU urban centre data. The different population centre colours related to different levels of urbanisation.

For the eleventh #30MapsInAMonth is an animated map of the British rail network showing track occupancy count for passenger train services in hour slices for the week of 18 August 2025.
This is based on the Network Rail centre-line track- or network-model and Common Interface File (CIF) format timetable file published on the Rail Data Marketplace combined with ORR and @openstreetmap location data for timetable points.
-
For the tenth #30MapsInAMonth is a map showing the electrification of the British heavy-rail network based on the centre-line track-model from the data from Network Rail and electrification status based on the electrification tags from @openstreetmap
An electric railway is arguably the least carbon-intensive way of moving freight and passengers. Even more so where the electricity generation is from renewable sources.

For the ninth #30MapsInAMonth is a hand drawn map of the West Yorkshire metro public transport network. This shows urban centres around Leeds in black-ink hand-script on a brown paper bag. The locations and scaling are based on the Copernicus EEA Global Human Settlement layer (GHS) data.
-
For the eighth #30MapsInAMonth maps are two maps showing the population density distribution in Europe based on the @WorldPopProject 1km² populations dataset with scaled and the @CopernicusEU Global Human Settlement (GHS) data to scale labels on the diagram.
-
For the seventh #30MapsInAMonth are two maps showing the number of heavy railway services on week of 18 August 2025 for all stations within a 80km radius of the 20M Northern population centred around Leek in Staffordshire and the 22M South Eastern population centred on London.

For the six #30MapsInAMonth are two maps the one-dimensional population distribution of Austria. Aggregating @WorldPopProject population and country boundary data, based in 100m slices, this shows the relative population distribution in the horizontal and vertical points on the compass.
-
For the fifth #30MapsInAMonth is a map global map of places called "Wayne" based on #OpenStreetMap. It is arguably both "Waynes World" and my most "excellent" map.
-
For the fourth #30MapsInAMonth is a map also based on population distribution and the shortest walking route to routes from the 2021 Office for National Statistics census Output Area locations to the stations centred on Sheffield. The line width is proportional to the aggregated population and the routes are based on based on @openstreetmap path data, and the station locations on Office of Rail and Road (ORR) active station list
-
For the third #30MapsInAMonth are three theoretical European full-automated luxury high-speed heavy-rail network maps based on population distribution. This uses H3 hierarchical hexagon library to aggregate @WorldPopProject population data into #polygons, creating a maximum spanning tree network using population-to-population edge-weights and names for major urban centres added using @EUCommission Global Human Settlement Layer data.
-
For the second #30MapsInAMonth here is a map showing the heavy-rail network track-model and stations centred on the East Coast Mainline between South Yorkshire and the Fens. This uses the Rail Data Marketplace centre-line track-model published by Network Rail and the Office of Road and Rail (ORR) list of active stations.
