Sorry if this has been asked already. Having trouble knowing what to put in RMME for journies on Manchester's Metrolink. Did a few trips the other week and need to add them to my total.

Thanks.

I might have missed it but I can't seem to find any mileage for Nottinghams tram network. Anyone know where I might be able to find this?

I haven't obtained any via FoI. You can use Railmiles for it as all mileages are there.

Just use the normal station name but add " (NET)" at the end.

With all the good weather, I'm now up to 8143mi 43ch.

Plenty more to come before the nights draw in and weather turns rubbish (I hope!).

A bit slow from me this year having just broken the 20k mark. Would be pretty happy if I can reach 40k by the end of December considering the loss of several Anglo-Scot trips this year.

A bit slow from me this year .......
I am also being a bit slow but only in respect of updating. Still trying to find time to type out moves for the last two months and sort out distances for a bit further back than that :oops:

My current mileage is probably somewhere between 20 and 25,000 at the moment but I will wait until I have a more accurate figure before updating.

Still not updated my figures lately, been far too busy and have got errors in my RailMiles to fix, hopefully everything will be correct soon!

A week's hol in Paignton with my son has put me up to 8124. There won't be much more this year now.
A bonus on the way home, the 12:34 ex Paignton on Sat had my last XC PC for haulage on the front (43303)

Just passed the 20k mark this week with another trip to London. Another 6k to go before my year target is reached (which will take me to 100k since i have started recording mileage back in may 2010).

Just taken my total to 9209 after yesterday's Great Eastern Freighter.

Got a Freedom of Southwest and 2 Valley Lines day Explorer's in the next 3 weeks - should increase the total somewhat.

6,386 miles for this year so far, would be higher but I just can't find mileage figures for the Brussels Metro and trams. Shall be boosting the figures slightly with a WMDR in the morning, lots of insect leaps without a doubt!

EDIT: Wow, 31st at the moment, although to be fair I had a really poor June this year. Not had such a bad month (well, excluding those I didn't get on a train!) in quite a long time!

I passed 400 with an Exeter Cen - Plymouth - Exeter SD trip yesterday (plus a lot of foot mileage and a bus back ;) - the pub was miles from the station!) - With over 30 mins before the next train up the hill I walked home from St Davids - I'm not that desperate for miles!

Only 500 miles behind me, I'll be sure to go out and get some more mileage before you overtake me :P

I am yet to do the totals up for the last week. Haven't updated the figure here since a few months ago. At around 21000 before last week.

Haven't really given this much thought but started to log all my mileage due to being bored in the summer holidays! I have logged my mileage using an Excel Spreadsheet and the journey's in it are from the top of my head and I'm certain I've missed some out. :roll: Anyhow, it all adds up to the really brilliant grand total of 2993, shows my great mileage! I am going to Pembroke Dock via London on Saturday and back 2 weeks later as well as travel whilst down there so that should hopefully get my mileage into the 3000's. If anybodies interested, my mileage is in the attachment. Please note it isn't in order.

Edit: I can't save the Excel document into a file type valid for posting here as an attachment, sorry.

After holiday in Shropshire and visits to relatives in Dorset and Somerset, I'm now up to 4745, or 5623 if you include everything, but that'll be it for the big mileages this year. :|

Never mind, I'm planning Kent - Carlisle via the WCML and back via the S&C in one day next year :D

My guess is that with my recent Freedom of Severn & Solent, I'm up to just over 6000 miles for the year, although with my bashing book(s) the other side of the channel quite a few miles away from me, I've got no way to check for sure!

If you're that bothered I would upload it to somewhere like SpiderOak, Dropbox or Google Drive and link to the file.

Myself, I have a trip to London coming up so perhaps I shall get some more LUL mileage although it goes without saying my mileage is pathetic

I've had quite a slow August for various reasons, and expect September to be similar.

I'm now up to 8938m 43ch, of which 689mi 38ch belongs to August.

Finally managed to work out the Manchester Metrolink mileages from July... Also had a short sojourn to London yesterday...took the opportunity to ensure the Paddington Parliamentary had at least one passenger.

Have now managed to do a very rough update but for some reason keep getting
A required field called Local station is missing or has an invalid value.
when I try and enter the figure in the space provided (26947 for the record) - any ideas? (no, I am not entering any spaces, commas, decimal points etc).

My actual total is somewhat higher but I don't have time right now to work out some journeys due to getting ready to go and add several thousand more miles in the next couple of weeks ;)
