[MidnightFlyer]

Doesn't your Irish Quail have them in?

Oh yeah

lol. ticket numbers so people an check them some how.

I know, its more for my reference really as I have a box of orange pieces of card! Keeping a record of what should be in there!

2) For Kings Cross St Pancras Underground to Green Park via Jubilee Line? (I can't find Kings Cross Underground on railmiles and I've tried all sorts of combinations).

Thanks

The Jubilee line doesn't go to Kings Cross St Pancras.

Just type in "King's Cross" and wait for the dropdown to appear; then select the appropriate option.

The Jubilee line doesn't go to Kings Cross St Pancras.

I meant the Victoria line of course I kept getting them mixed up in my head all day!

 

[Mojo]

I thought so, but just wanted to be sure, in case you had changed trains or something.

In that case, you'll need to enter ''King's Cross St. Pancras (Victoria, LUL)'' as the origin. The distance according to RailMiles is 2 miles 15 chains.

 

[ainsworth74]

Thanks Mojo

Having now finished my Anglia Plus - I have a couple of figures regarding it

I covered 943 miles over three week days... an average mileage per day of 314.33333r miles [943/3].

Working out at [£]1.5906p per mile [1500/943]

Leaving me on 2762 miles in 2011
All figures exclude chains.

 

[Captain Chaos]

Just updated mine (haven't done so for a while). Mileage is now 1789. Had a nice trip to Severn Beach for my first bit of pacer mileage of the year (which is rare for me as I don't tend to go to the places where they can be found often). Also had a trip to Weymouth on the Heart of Wessex line which was also quite enjoyable (on an ATW liveried 150 no less). Been wanting to do these two lines for a while and finally found the time to cover them.

Will upload a Google spreadsheet for anyone to look at if they wish at some point soon.

 

[Techniquest]

Meant to update my lot recently, but got busy and forgot to somehow. On Tuesday I did a Daytripper for the first time since summer 2008. After much shack scratching/station gricing* and 150 bashing, not to mention a lot of time spent on the Midland Metro which I used for the first time ever, my mileage currently resides at 3,949 miles. RailMiles doesn't like the Midland Metro, so I haven't got that lot in there yet.

I'm hoping to go out for a bit of a bash on Tuesday, since I've more money than previously estimated, although I've not determined where. Can't be too much as I've got work on Wednesday and I'm trying to re-build my savings to do an ALR before my final Y-P expires. Bring on Tuesday!!!

* = delete your less preferred term, depending on age :-P

 

[TGVDUDE]

4,615 miles I'm on, after a day around London yesterday

 

[Ivo]

Just had a look and if everything in May goes according to plan, not including Welsh (because I haven't planned it) or Irish (ecause I have no access to it) mileage I am looking at 5,412 come the end of next month. Not a bad little total, but when you consider that there will surely be in excess of 1,000 more...

 

[gordonthemoron]

800 miles or so last weekend (Munich-Berlin and back), 800 or so next weekend (Munich-Salzburg-Venice, Leeds-Nottingham, Berlin-Munich) and probably 1000 or so in a fortnight (Munich-Hamburg and back)

 

[Techniquest]

My mileage will go flying up in the summer when I do my first, and possibly last, ever All Line Rover. Should have the ching saved up by early June, depending on other factors (including whether I can put up with two months of minimal bashing!), so assuming I have enough holiday time accumulated by then and can get 4 days off in a row, I'll be on it in July

 

[noddy1878]

I'm currently on 12063 miles. April has been a very slow month for me (well compared to the Jan - Mar). I have put all my trips into a PDF availible here. It only has my trips up to the end of March. I will add April to it in due course.

 

[Mr Spock]

I see someone has jumped to the top of the leadr board with 50170 miles -hoping this is just a mispost.

 

[noddy1878]

For anyone who is interested, my up to date (end of April) Journeys Made PDF is in my signature link.

 

[Lad Brookes]

I've listed all the routes I did on holiday (London to Budapest; out via Paris, Nice, Milan and Venice; back via Munich and Paris). Just need to calculate the mileage.

Have the distances from Thomas Cook timetable, just need things for the millions of suburban journeys I took.

Should take me to about 10,000 miles for year to date- 4 weeks or so ahead of schedule (I'm 'budgeting' myself at 2,000 miles a month)

 

[voyagerdude220]

8518.23 miles please, thank you.

8518.23 miles please, thank you.

The system is automated now VoyagerDude - we have to update our own mileage's using the field provided at http://www.railforums.co.uk/profile.php?do=editprofile

[voyagerdude220]

Thanks Transportphoto, you learn something new everyday.

Hopefully i've done it correctly.

 

[transportphoto]

Looking at the league table - yes you have

Automated now?! It's been like it for over 14 months or so

 

[Ivo]

After the SLC, visiting my father and first RRB of the year (on which the driver not only checked tickets but also permitted bicycles), I now stand at 3332. No more mileage to come before my Irish expedition now*, but that should take me past the 5000 mark. And with that in mind, I would like to make a request.

If anyone has a copy of the Irish Quail Atlas thing, after my sojourn across the Irish Sea would they be able to provide all the distances I require please (by PM)?

Thank you in advance

Looks like I stand corrected. Another journey to Feltham is on the cards! I have to be on the 17:42 from Reading later today (10 May) :roll:

 

[Techniquest]

I should imagine 4SRKT can help you there (after all, he helped me with mileages), as can my RailMiles page at http://techniquest.railmiles.org. I'll link the relevant details later, when I've time.

EDIT: http://techniquest.railmiles.org/date-18jan11/

Went to Stourbridge Junction again today in case 139001 was out. Sadly, it wasn't, so a bit of a wasted trip out but it was still a nice few hours on the bash. Mileage figures to be updated soon, but it's over 4,000

 

[Railjet]

I've listed all the routes I did on holiday (London to Budapest; out via Paris, Nice, Milan and Venice; back via Munich and Paris). Just need to calculate the mileage.

Have the distances from Thomas Cook timetable, just need things for the millions of suburban journeys I took.

I don't know what Thomas Cook says for Budapest - Munich, but the on-train timetables understate the distance slightly, at 733 km. Actual distance is 742 km, because the tariff-kms from Budapest Deli to Kelenfold (4 km) are included, rather than the actual distance from Budapest Keleti to Kelenfold (13 km), where the Railjets start from.

 

[Lad Brookes]

Ah yes, Thomas Cook says 13km, the Railjet timetable says 4km. I calculated all mileage from Thomas Cook, apart from the Railjet, where I was lazy and just took the km figure from the on-train timetable, so my figure's 9km short.
Thanks.

 

[Captain Chaos]

Updated mine to 3069 Mi 52 Ch. Will be uploading a spreadsheet to Google Docs for anyone to view shortly. Should be up in the next day or two. Was actually planning more mileage for this month to get more routes, traction and TOC's (haven't exactly been far afield of late) but factors beyond my control have put those plans on ice for now. :-x

Still plenty of time to catch you all up!

 

[Minilad]

Finally split my work and leisure mileage up
Leisure currently stands at 5420.82 out of a total for the year of 21011.95

 

[chris89]

Just updated mine.

Total is now 2204.24 with the VT 221: up to 1692.55 & Scot-Rail 334: up to 295.03 over the weekend.
