Some more help with mileages please. This time for the Western Region

1. Before it closed, I traversed the old Cheltenham to Honeybourne line. Once on the return leg a half day DMU excursion from Bristol to Worcester and the other on an excursion from Bristol to York. I would like to know the mileage from Lansdown Junction (?) to Honeybourne Station

2. On 16 May 1978, I was on the "Camel Train" railtour from Plymouth to Wadebridge. More details here. Can anyone help with the mileage from Bodmin Road to Wadebridge?

I've already tried looking on line for old Western Region Sectional Appendices but to no avail.

Any help would be more than welcome.
Thanks
Keith

Bodmin North-Wadebridge = 6m 68ch (see <http://www.railwaycodes.org.uk/ELRs/_mileages/B/BOW.txt>)
Other bits available on route BOD and BOE (see <http://www.railwaycodes.org.uk/ELRs/ELR0.shtm> and follow the link for 'B')

Similarly, see HCL and CTM for the Honeybourne route.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the help guys. Very much appreciated and another problem or two solved, and quickly too!

Railway Codes and other data looks to be a particularly interesting and valuable resource where I expect to "waste" some of my time in the future.

Thanks again.

Keith

Must say I really envy you being able to travel down to Wadebridge, would have given anything (well almost) to have been on that DMU trip!
