This page should be regarded as “Work in Progress”. The webmaster will welcome additional information for this page.
In the list below the information is set out in tabular form, spread over four columns. The column entries are -
RailRef | The Line Code used in RailRef system. |
Line Detail | The principal locations included within the Line Code. They are arranged in 'down' direction order. Locations shown are primarily stations and junctions to allow easy cross check against published atlases. Signal box names appear in italics where these are 'intermediate' to stations or have been shown to facilitate links from other pages on this web site. The inclusion of a station or junction name does not imply that there was always a signal box of that same name! |
SBR | The section reference used in the relevant Signal Box Register published by the Society. |
ELR | The corresponding Engineer's Line Reference(s). This will be blank for railways that never came within British Railways terms of reference. It will also be blank where British Railways had no surviving responsibility for infrastructure at the time the ELR system came into use. |
Milepost Mileages
Mileages and line names are mainly taken from the Midland Railway Distance Diagrams of the 1910-1920 period. These have been (re)published in recent years by the Cumbrian Railways Association (volume 1) and Peter Kay (volumes 2 to 6). The mileages shown are, therefore, from St Pancras via the shortest route unless and alternative datum is either stated or a zero mileage is included in the line code entry. The shortest route can be determined by following the links within this page.
The Midland Railway undertook a major 'remiling' exercise affecting most of their lines early in the 20th century and John Gough's notes can be read here. This resulted in most, if not all, lines where a direct (head on) run from St Pancras was possible being remiled to a datum of St Pancras. There is also OS map evidence that some or all of the 'west' lines and joint lines were remiled as well.
Where evidence has been seen of earlier mile post mileages that differ from the present day, the relevant line code is annotated appropriately.
