Route Coverage

[Lrd]

I'd colour in the map, but can only get it as a .pdf annoyingly. All the coloured/numbered lines on this map done, bar Rogier to Esplanade on line 3:

Thanks, although it's too big a file to add as an attachment. Looks good mind! Shall add a link to it on Flickr when I get it uploaded

As promised, I uploaded it to Flickr. Gonna have to arrange a flying visit to Brussels to finish line 3, looks bad!

Here's my west midlands coverage in the attachment

 

[TheJRB]

As it's been a while since my last post here, I thought I'd attach my current main coverage. Managed to add the Chiltern line, the Hastings line and a chunk of the ECML amongst others since my last post.

I'm surprised you have gaps in Kent considering your location is Ashford!

I'm surprised you have gaps in Kent considering your location is Ashford!

It's mainly because some bits are quite tough to get to from here (and working out which tickets to use), but I'm planning ways to rectify that! These are my plans for trips at some point:

[B]SO[/B]
Ashford International		08:30	
Bromley South		09:34	10:09	
Rochester		10:39	11:00	Via Woolwich Arsenal and Blackheath
Lewisham		11:55	12:24	Via Sidcup
Slade Green		12:54	13:17	
Barnehurst		13:34	13:38	Via Bexleyheath
Lewisham		13:58	14:14	
Hayes			14:38	15:08	Avoiding Lewisham
London Bridge		15:37	15:51	
Charlton		16:06	16:17	
Lewisham		16:25	16:38	
London Victoria		16:58	17:07	
Ashford International	18:27		
			

[B]SX[/B]		
Ashford International		12:22	Via Canterbury West
Margate			13:10	13:16	
Faversham		13:48	14:13	
Ramsgate		14:51	15:23	
Sandwich		15:35	15:56	Via Minster
Ramsgate		16:14	16:23	Via Dover Priory
Ashford International	17:28

I have another to cover Bromley North and the remaining spur near Dartford not covered by the above trips but I need to finalise that one.

 

[Techniquest]

Surely for the bits around Margate and such like, a Kent Rover would sort it all out. Do those bits on one day, on day 2 use it as close to London as possible to Zone 6 to do the bits within the zones you need plus whatever tickets to cover the rover area to Zone 6.

The alternative I'd suggest would be Ashford to London on whatever relevant tickets you can get, then a Z1-6 Travelcard to do all the bits within the Travelcard zones you need plus extension ticket to Dartford. If you run out of time in the day to do it all, then stay over in a Travelodge or something and finish it off the next day.

I've always wished there would be a one day Kent Rover but there doesn't seem much sign of it happening unfortunately. Finding three consecutive days might be difficult too.

For the first trip above I've worked out that I'd need an Ashford outboundary Z1-6 Travelcard plus Z5-Rochester return. For the second trip I'd need Ashford-Whitstable return, Whitstable-Faversham return (I don't believe Ashford-Faversham return is valid via Ramsgate) and Ramsgate-Sandwich return (to cover the round trip via the Minster curve).

If you run out of time in the day to do it all, then stay over in a Travelodge or something and finish it off the next day.

The issue is that I currently do all of my railway travel with my grandfather as he is a keen enthusiast too and lives nearby. I don't think he'd be keen on staying overnight anywhere to be honest.

Ahhhh, fair enough

 

[Trainfan344]

Anyone got any tips for route coverage in the west midlands?

Anyone got any tips for route coverage in the west midlands?

West Midlands Day Ranger?
Network Daytripper?

 

[Techniquest]

Yep, my thoughts exactly. Dead easy to do most of the Midlands in one day if you're that keen.

 

[ATW Alex 101]

West Midlands Day Ranger?
Network Daytripper?

Or when the great escape is on that's excellent, that's what I used to complete most of the West Midlands

 

[corin paul]

Dad worked on the railway's so free pass until 17, and a couple of 'All line Rail Rover's' help me cover my fair share of lines back in the late 80s early 90s. But I am still covering new lines these days, last December Blackpool North for the first time. Help by going to take photos of the signal boxes at these locations.

Coverage of Brussels Metro, as of 25/03/13 by 43002, on Flickr

Coverage of the Brussels Metro and pre-Metro lines as of my recent trip abroad. Still need to get a map down for the other stuff I've done, but the above looks good

 

[Trainfan344]

I am in the process of planning a trip to tick off all of the lines in the Anglia Plus Region I haven't covered yet.

 

[jnjkerbin]

Finally done mine. I should have the south of the WCML and some of North Wales by August as well as a couple of West Country lines next week.

EDIT: And London as well.

 

[Trainfan344]

My Anglia Plus Region Route Coverage can be found here. The green bits are the bits I've covered.

 

[corin paul]

I feel pretty pleased with lines I have covered. Doing London map at moment, and clearing up main map.

 

[Eng274]

Haven't updated mine to compensate yet, but today i can tick off Derby - Crewe, and currently on a diverted virgin voyager bound for the S & C, unexpected surprise

I see a lot of red in East Anglia...

 

[Ivo]

Apparently I never uploaded my most recent map, which isn't that different to my previous one but does have some minor - and in a couple of cases, not-so-minor - differences to previous versions.

The only problem is that I've managed nothing new since July hock: That will have to change.

 

[CallySleeper]

Here's my measly efforts

 

[transmanche]

I thought I'd have a go at filling in where I've been. Which isn't too shabby, considering I've never travelled to 'bash' or tick-off a particular route.

 

[Requeststop]

Here are my before and after coverage maps following my February BritRail trip to South Wales, Western Scotland and East Anglia, report on which is in the Trip Reports and Nostalgia Section.

I am going to try to cover lines out of Nottingham in June.

 

[crispy1978]

This is my effort:

 

[D6975]

Did a NW rover + GMPTE a couple of weeks ago, finished off all the missing bits in that area including Heysham. Off to Norwich soon to turn Anglia blue.

 

[D6975]

And, just completed, my map for LOCO HAULED only.
And no, HSTs do not count as loco hauled.

Just noticed an error, Blaneau branch should be red.

Plans to do as much as possible out of Nottingham are not going well, but will try. Though, I hope to complete all of South Wales in June by covering Rhymney and Ebbw Vale, which I missed out during my February trip.

So here I have added my coverage maps of Birmingham;Liverpool-Leeds-Sheffield-Manchester; Glasgow-Edinburgh-Newcastle; Bristol-Cardiff; Southampton.

The big one for London and the South East is work underway but will take some time and will post when ready.
