[Kite159]

And how did you find the lane which is green?

 

[Segedunum]

A quirky affair, getting quite a bit of work done it seems

 

[Kite159]

I was quiet at work today so I made a start on putting together a sheet for shacks that I've visited.

To my workings, I've covered 1022 stations (with Freshford being shack 1000)

Worst TOC is ATW (19.8% coverage - although a day or two doing shacks on the valley lines network will soon boost that figure)

 

[Techniquest]

I really need to make files of my visited shacks too, but I'm being lazy lately and not getting on with it

I do know I'm hoping to knock down my requirements in the North West rover area somewhat next week, after all I need more than 300 Northern-served stations!

 

[Kite159]

I used the sheet of station usage data on the ORR website (http://orr.gov.uk/statistics/published-stats/station-usage-estimates) , and deleted the columns with the usage data (and added in lines for the new shacks such as Pye Corner, Newcourt, Ebbw Vale Town, James Cook Hospital [couldn't think of any more new stations]).

Some of those Northern shacks will be easier to get than others, i.e. the limited [once/twice a day shacks].

 

[Starmill]

I'm ticking them off, up to Longton (which is green :P). My most recent addition is New Mills Newtown.

 

[Hornet]

More historical than current. Attached pdf's show my pre 1994 Stations visits (2569 Stations) and post 1994 Station visits (104 Stations). Both lists in Station alphabetical order, with the service photographed at that Station and the date of the photo taken. All Station details pre 1994 from All Line Timetable of the 80's and 90's. All current details cross referenced between the ORR List and current National Rail Timetable list. No Private, Underground (except those with National Rail calling services) or Light Rail included.

[Techniquest]

Midland Metro you mean surely, or have Metrolink just built an enormous extension?

Nice regarding the NE rover, should prove an excellent time and provide a ton of winners!

Can echo the comments on the NE Rover, did one last year

 

[Buttsy]

My 2015 ones so far:

Finstock
Theale
Thatcham
Smethwick Galton Bridge
Cark & Cartmel
Green Road
Millom
Foxfield

My rule is that I must have walked on a platform, as I do tend to do some stations on walking holidays.

Thanks. I have changed it now!

Hopefully it will be really good! I will be mostly aiming for HSTs and 91s but it would be nice to get a few winner carts too.
