Historic distance charts ? - Posted: August 11, 2011 - 7:36 PM Quote and reply
Assistance requested for use partly with RPS Historic Fastest Times but also for analysing some of my logs. Has anyone got both pre-Beeching Passenger Working Timetables and a digital camera. If so, would you be willing to take a photograph of the first page of selected timetables (the pages showing station distances in miles & chains) for a number of lines, mainly in the former Eastern Region, but a few from elsewhere.
The lines of intial interest include:
GNR/GCR/Joint lines:-
1. Peterborough to Grimsby, whilst still open but before many of the intermediate stations were closed.
2. Mablethorpe loop.
3. Lincoln to Woodhall Junction and thence to both Firsby & Boston.
4. Lincoln to Grantham via Leadenham.
5. Lincoln to Clowne / Langwith / Sheffield (former LDEC/GCR line)
6. March to Spalding.
7. Nottingham Victoria to Derby Friargate / Egginton Junction / Burton & Pinxton South.
8. Glazebrook to Wigan Central (& St. Helens Central)

North Staffs /LNWR areas:-
9. Uttoxeter - Ashbourne - Buxton / Leek / Macclesfield.
10. Stoke - Leek
11. Stoke - Hanley - Kidsgrove
12. Stoke - Biddulph - Congleton
13. Stoke - Market Drayton
14. Keele - Alsager / Sandbach lines
15. Whitchurch - (Waverton) - Chester,

If anyone can help, please send photo files in jpg format (only one file at a time, please - anything more tends to overload my rather slow broadband connection.)

In return, if anyone needs distance information from closed GWR lines (from Cooke's GWR Atlas), or lines on the former Midland Railway or North Eastern Railway, I may be able to help you.

Thanks for any assistance, however small, that you can manage.

Thanks for Chris and Ian for their assistance. As time permits, I am slowly progressing with compilation of Historical Distance Charts for a selection of UK lines. Copies will be made available to RPS when these are completed, hopefully sometime during 2012.
