rail track data of the UK as arcs (lines consisting of lat long points)

Question

I am looking for a free/open data source for rail tracks of the UK network (the rail network as arcs - lines). I have all the train station points as lat long pairs.

The UK open data site has datasets for both stations (which you have) and what they call the centre-lines of the railway track for the network. It is in a shapefile.

All these links seem to be broken I cannot add the WFS to ArcPro. – Hornbydd Apr 05 '19 at 09:39
