alt Hacker NewsTrain Trackr is great, and the weather one is also good too.
If you are less into trains (heresy) but still want to look at unusual maps https://raildar.co.uk/map/KGX is your place to go. its a live junction schematic of any train junction in the UK.

I prefer Tracksy — https://traksy.uk/live
Works on a mobile phone too so I can check what’s happening when I’m at my local station and the train is late
Raildar is a pretty abysmal experience on mobile… locks up on this iPad when I try to zoom in

Nice one, OpenRailTimes[0] is a similar style, but split in to smaller local sections by rail company and area.
I also like SignalBox[1] maps for their more traditional geographic layout, and for "less map -- more data", with accurate times that trains pass through stations and junctions, then RealTimeTrains[2] is hard to beat.
