Mileage Competition 2013

[Haydn1971]

Is this just UK mileage or do people count international too ?

International miles definitely count - just wish I had some to add to my total!

 

[Haydn1971]

OK, anyone point me in the direction of distances for Paris Metro/RER ? Plus Eurostar ?

 

[Searle]

St Pancras - Paris Nord is 492.5km for starters :P

 

[Techniquest]

231m60c for St Pancras to Brussels via the Ashford avoider.

As for Paris RER/Metro, no idea myself I'm afraid. Definitely count international mileage, would be daft not to!

 

[bb21]

Quote from the OP.

Mileage covered on all railways counts towards your total, including heritage lines, foreign mileage, trams, light rail and LU - providing you can find accurate mileage data.

If it was UK only I'd still be on 2 miles

Does anyone know how far the Inverness sleeper travelled last night 9/6/2013 as it apparently reversed at Wembley the at Stratford and again at Newcastle?

Arrived at 0941 - 1505 minutes late according to the system in front of me. hock:

RTT has it correct at 65 minutes late.

The Fort William portion arrived 105 down at 1139!

 

[crispy1978]

I've forgotten about my Belgian trip in February!

Can anyone provide the following mileage, or point me where to find them - a quick Google search hasn't helped.

Train - Brugge to Oostende (same mileage both ways I assume)

Tram - Oostende station to Blankenberge station (could be a slightly different mileage each way as I think they might have taken a slightly different track back over a bridge?)

 

[Techniquest]

Believe the coastal tramway does take a slightly different route in each direction, or at least take longer in one direction to the other, but not sure now. I've got a source for the mileage to Oostende, would be the same figures in each direction yes. Not 100% sure if the coastal tramway is in my booklet though, and I can't check until Friday evening as I'm away until then.

That took some reading to be honest! Looks like a productive trip, indeed I was daydreaming about doing a 14 day FC ALR on my way home from work last week, although I think I'd be bored of the ECML, WCML, GEML and GWML by the end of the fortnight!

Will set you back £464 without a Railcard in Standard Class if you fancy it.

You might have to remind me via PM about it, I'm on a marathon shift at work on Saturday so it's likely I'll forget! Even so, I'll try to remember to dig it out on Friday and at least note it on my phone to send over. If I've not got back to you by this time next week, remind me

Much cheaper than individual tickets!

I have just tried to update my mileage and the following message appeared:

[trentside]

After a trip to Cardiff and the Valleys, I'm now up to 5464mi 48ch for the year so far.

My total for June is 774mi 74ch, but I'm hoping to add to that before the end of next week.

It's a new box at the top of the page, fill it in then happy days.

Hiya,

Never got around to looking on Friday, but here we go:

Brugge-Oostende is 13m49c in both directions.

Oostende Station to Blankenberge Station is 12m24c each way on the Kusttram system.

Many thanks go to Mr Clarke's incredibly helpful Continental Miles and Chains books,I'd highly recommend getting them if you can

 

[dcd]

Does anyone know how far the Inverness sleeper travelled last night 9/6/2013 as it apparently reversed at Wembley then at Stratford and again at Newcastle?

Found the answer myself, forgot I had my Garmin GPS on for the journey it was 608 miles instead of the expected 592 using the East Coast Mail Line.

 

[D6975]

Up to 7883 having just done an East Mids, but that's about it for the year now, all hols used up except for 1 and that's going to be a week at the seaside with my son.

 

[Trainfan344]

Just added another anglia plus day ranger trip from the 28th June, Nearly 400 miles in just under 12 hours and with the addition of Doncaster to York return takes me to 1014 miles so far this year with more to hopefully come.

Thank you very much!!

Thank you very much!!

Nay drama, nice to be able to help someone with mileage for once rather than simply asking for the figures myself

 

[Lrd]

I am currently on an ALR, not looking forward to adding everything up. Completely forgot about mileages.
