Kill mine then, I've no interest in seperating pres from non-pres and don't do anything on the mainline for mileage.
Don't really see how it is a huge advantage given that available mileage per trip/day is much much lower though!! :???:

I'll stop being mean to you Gizmogle, once you correct my position in the table, to 12th, as you've correctly re-adjusted my mileage, but it still appears to be worth less than Alex's mileage of 5 less

Voyager miles aren't worth as much as normal ones...

Gizmogle: Has it been a hot day? Really?!!?!! So that's why I didn't need a coat when I went out today...
Craig: I hope not.. otherwise i'm stuffed! Do FC miles get multiplied by 1.5, just like they do against SC fares? :razz:

But one would seem better off getting 1,000 miles in on Voyagers than doing the same on preserved lines, since non-NR mileage no longer counts!
I'm sorry, but I do NOT agree with that. If you choose to work on a preserved line, thus not mounting up mileage on galas, that's your choice. Commuting mileage is countable, it appears, but not miles done behind, say, 37037, 20110, 20118, D7612...I cannot see any sense in that.
Hell, whilst we're at it, let's discount any mileage done for commuting purposes. Let's also not count a journey that is less than 5 miles in length...
Does this then mean my mileage between Norton Fitzwarren and Minehead and return on the HST not count?
I say it's left the way it was.

Techniquest, I'd like to simply refer you to an earlier posting by DJW1981, which to save myself typing the same to you:

If you're travelling on an advance purchase ticket you should only get about 10 miles then
Sorry about that Chris. Tis done
Thanks, only 3 behind Craig now

In which case, voyagerdude220, I can't be bothered. Feel free to leave my mileage as it is. I can't be bothered to compete in any sort of competition which goes against those who support the preservation movement.
Railtours and such count. Just not mileage on preserved railways. Me, and quite a few other members aren't counting them. They aren't in CORE. Many people don't know how many miles preserved lines are.
Really it should be anything that you can work out on CORE. Including tube, metro and trams.
Just want to make it fair and give everyone an equal chance.

Before taking off 43 miles (from the SDR - who said you can't do decent mileage on preserved railways!) from my total, after the trip to Minehead and back yesterday, I have now got 5,535.5 miles in. So taking the SDR bits off, that is 5,492.5 miles.
EDIT: You can't do LUL, tram or whatever on CORE, so those can't count either.

Does anyone know about Glasgow Subway mileages, then? (I might be able to beat Craig
)

OK, I did wonder what you meant so I'm glad you cleared that one up.
