Please can anyone tell me the mileage for the following or point me in the right direction of a good site for Ireland Miles and Chains as the Quail is and has been out of print for a long time:
Sydenham to Great Victoria Street
Lanyon Place to Bangor
Bangor to Sydenham
Thank you

Looking at a 2008 copy of a NIR WTT I've worked out the following,
Sydenham to Gt. Victoria Strt. = 4m & 15ch
Bangor to Sydenham = 10m & 30ch
As for Lanyon Place can't find any reference, where is this?
Hope this helps you.

Lanyon Place is the new name for Central.

Not unreasonable to rename it - "Central" wasn't particularly central - but it has caused some confusion.

Belfast Central was renamed Lanyon Place on the 1st September 2018 as part of the upgrade project there, still seems to get referred to as Central though.
