Mileage Competition 2016

[dcd]

Just an update on mine:

January: 373 miles
February: 462 miles
March: 734 miles
April: 1988 miles
May: 386 miles
June: 1340 miles
July: 9231 miles
August: 476 miles
September: 530 miles
October: 2838 miles
November: 828 miles
December: 0 miles so far...

It brings my total for this year to 19182 miles. My highest year so far and all leisure, no commuting.

My latest RM update, with two more trips to go, has me on 13,557 miles in 2016 so far.

37500 after many trips about + work

Just an update that for the next week there will be a period where the Mileage Competition league tables for all years will not be available. You can still update your 2016 mileage in the usual way and this will still be saved and will appear in the league table when it is available.

Now that you mention it I did a return from newhaven harbour to Eastleigh and return
Better add that to my profole

 

[crehld]

Well I managed to hit the 20k barrier, and now stand at 20,043 miles. I haven't be able to go out on the rails for leisure in the last couple of months on account of work being super busy (hence the lack of trip reports and activity on the forum). I won't get out before Christmas so doubt this will increase much before the end of the year.

League table seems to be broken, nothing is showing

It's working for me.

Lucky you - I have tried 3 different browsers on 3 different machines and all I get are 2 advertising banners.

This is probably why

Silly me should have read all the posts. Maybe this could have been put near the link on the first page.

I'm not too bothered about the table not showing, I'm so far down it after all it's not worth me looking

My penultimate RailMiles update is done, and I will have another to do after tomorrow's trip to Manchester. For now though I'm on 14,205 miles in 2016! Absolutely smashed the 12,000 target and obliterated the average of 1,000 miles per month target too

Hoping to clear 14,500 by tomorrow evening!

Well it was, but it's stopped working again, although that's to be expected after the mileage table downtime was announced.

Good luck Tech, hopefully I'll clear the 30,000 mile mark this month. I should do, but we'll see!

I am up to 57,956 pending a number of small updates and anything between now and the end of New Year's Eve. It has been very busy this year with long-distance commuting and holidays, plus days out and 'bashing' trips. I have included *everything* even the Douglas Bay Horse Tramway I doubt next year will be as big as this sadly.

When I have finished I will endeavour to post some of my statistics from RailMiles. It's taking rather more data input than I would really like to get there but I feel it is worth it. Perhaps there are some suggestions I could make to improve it, such as showing the operator code in the main journey screen.

 

[andyb2706]

Well my total so far is 17286 and I am now hoping for another trip or two before the end of the year, but I have smashed my target too which was my 2015 total of 12412. The scary thing is that I want to set the target as my 2016 total to improve year on year......how on the earth am I going to do that!!! hock:

 

[37038]

Floating somewhere near 40k, should clear that with two more long distance trips between xmas and new year

 

[gordonthemoron]

17005, that's the lot for this year. Best total since 2013

 

[Kite159]

Anybody got the distance from Haymarket to Edinburgh Gateway on the train?

 

[Techniquest]

I don't I'm afraid Kite! Edinburgh Gateway is recognised as a location in the subscriber version of RailMiles, but no data is yet in the system. Which annoys me for light rail moves too, which aren't recognised on the system despite Metrolink having existed for years and data available...

Anyway, I've just completed my final RailMiles update of 2016. I end the year on 14,600 miles, 2600 more than I originally expected to get! Below then are my targets for 2017:

- 12,000 miles before the end of 2017
- 500 UK winners
- 200 shack scores from the UK at minimum (not including non-UK ones in this target in 2017!)
- 200 new sights from the UK alone.

Easy enough that should be, but we'll see. I do have the final chapter of my 2016 Rolling Review to finish, which I hope to get done in the coming days during my commuting. Meanwhile, it's some more prep for 2017...

Looks like my total of 2016 is 52,708.5 miles, just under a thousand more than last year.

I doubt next year will be as much, running out of stuff to go after within the South East.

An incredible total, same for Minilad for that matter.

You've got 345s and 707s to go after in the South East soon, your 2017 mileage will still be high

What is the distance on Southern from Clapham Junction to Kensington Olympia?

Also, is realtimetrains a reliable source of distances?

3 miles 29 chains from rail miles using Clapham Junction (Central)

 

[High Dyke]

Less than 2015, but haven't had so many long trips.

 

[crehld]

A return to Leeds a couple of days ago means I finish the year on 20,115 miles.

 

[Trainfan344]

Is there a 2017 topic yet?
