I have that down as 61ch

As do I, according to sectional appendix data.

I can't work out those underground distances, so I will just enter those mainlne trips for now. I have had to put 330 in so far as I can't get the milage for Charing Cross to Waterloo East

If you're struggling with the London Underground distances, it might be worth looking at the LU Working Timetables, which provide distances between stations (about two or three pages in) - it's what I use. All you have to do is add them up (and multiply by 0.6124 if you want to convert km into miles).

Forum Moderator bb21 has also kindly produced some distance charts in three stickies at the top of this forum which is what I use for LU and other systems.

Same here. They're easy to read and get the job done very quickly.

If you have spreadsheet software you can use the spreadsheet I created also given in the stickies at the top.


BTW just started my years travels with 191m 23ch

I'm working on my mileages at the moment, but all those NET journeys will take some working out!

In the meantime it's fair to say that I've had a better January than I thought I would so far!

I've FINALLY finished adding all my journeys to RailMiles for 2016 so far!

967 miles so far, not bad considering we're only 18 days into the year. Obviously not as good as a lot of you as I'm only 9th in the table already. I might make the top 20 this year! :lol:

I'm planning another trip this weekend, but I haven't decided where yet. My current total is much better than last January already, I'm hoping to get around 1,000 miles this month although we'll have to see what happens.

That is weird, have just tried looking at the table on both IE and Firefox and get a blank page when logged in but can see it perfectly when viewing as a "guest" :?

The issue appears to be that it only loads on the Default theme, not any of the others. The same thing happened last year for the first two months until something was fixed.

You are right that it only works on the Default theme, I did post words to this effect immediately under the link.

Nothing needs to be "fixed" as such, it is just that in order to set up the table a template needs to be made for every theme, so I only did it for the Default theme in order to get it up and running as soon as I could. It will follow on other themes when I am able to do so :smile:

I didn't see that! That's cool. Explains why it works on my phone and not laptop.

Only 4 days of the commute this week, because of a hospital trip, but a chance to get some extra miles next weekend by having a weekend in Leeds. Should crack 2000 miles by the end of the month.

I will now enter the fray with 2880. This excludes an unknown (but at a guess 400ish) miles on 1st Jan. It's mostly from a small number of very long journeys like London to Stirling.
