Cherwell Valley Line - Gradient Profile

[Peter C]

Hello
I'm currently working on a version of the Cotswold Line for Train Simulator, and would like to add an extra bit to make the route more interesting. The bit I'd like to include is the line from Didcot through Oxford to Banbury; firstly, to allow full Didcot - Moreton-in-Marsh services to be done, and secondly because, to the best of my knowledge, the Didcot-Banbury line (the Cherwell Valley Line) has not yet been done for Train Simulator.
To do this, I'd need the gradient profile for the Cherwell Valley Line - preferably in the same format as Network Rail provides (i.e. Excel spreadsheet with gradient value and lengths). Does anyone on here have such a document which they'd either be willing to point me towards or send? I know www.railwaydata.co.uk holds gradient profiles, but the format of these makes them difficult to use for TS routes.

Thanks,

-Peter

This website may be of use. It is a map of gradients for the whole country.
Click 'show arrows' to see the direction of the gradient.
Click 'show edge dots' to see where the gradients start and end.

I've just had a quick look and it looks to be just what I want - thanks very much
Because of the fact that it's a map, it also means I can see where gradients start/end more accurately with relation to the world around the line - something not possible on a simple line diagram.

Glad you found the maps useful!

I assume you're the person who made them? If so, thanks very much - it's made the whole route-building process a lot quicker.
