Here is a repost showing the shortest walking route on the British mainland as an orange line from census locations to the nearest heavy rail station. This uses #OpenStreetMap road and street data, #ONS and #LibraryOfScotland census population areas (Output Areas OA/Data Zone DZ) and was developed in #Python. The stations are show on the left-hand side as an orange diamond with a black boundary.
