Buy an all lines timetable, an old one will do.
The distances are shown on the first page of every indvidual line's timetable.

A quail map, which is a map of the railway tracks in Britain would help you as it has the distances of how far stations are from each other. There are several books as the country is split into different areas, the link below shows the books you can get and how to order them.

A good question.
Quail Maps give precise distances, but require a detailed knowledge of the rail system and a lot of aggregation of section distances.
The National Passenger Rail Timetable has a column in front of each table giving distances (buy soon -- to be discontinued from next year)
ABC Rail Guide gives distances from London.
I have suggested to Transport Direct --- see
www.transportdirect.info/TransportDirect/en
that they could include it. They already give you road mileage between rail stations!!

If you have a look alongside the track there will be mileposts
Eg in the UK the mile posts either look like a yellow square with a number in, or the newer ones are blue diamonds.
Number on own = Mile post
Number with MP under - Mile post
Number with I under - Quarter Mile
Number with II under - Half Mile
Number with III under - Three Quarter Mile
