Gradient Profiles

[GazK]

Doea anyone have gradient profile charts for the following? They seem to be rare as rocking horse **** these days.

- worcester to birmingham via stourbridge
- bolton - blackburn - hellifield
- crewe - carlise via shap

Here you go:
Bolton - Hellifield attached.
Never seen one Worcester - Stourbridge - Birmingham (if you find one, post it here!) but Crewe - Carlisle is easy enough to obtain. It's in the Ian Allan book 'BR Main Line Gradient Profiles'. Out of print but plenty available. There's a few on Amazon and eBay right now.

Thanks very much for that. I've ordered a copy of the book you mention - I had one years ago but it's long since disappeared.

GazK, you are in Wiltshire I see, if you like you can borrow my BR Gradient Profiles book from Ian Allan, I have a hard copy. I have no scanner but you can borrow it for free

That's very kind of you indeed - but a second hand copy of the same book arrived on my doorstep yesterday! I now have everything except Abootswood Junction > Birmingham via Kidderminster.
