Mileage Competition 2015

14,514 miles for me (although I've still got some mileages to work out).

A fair bit of travel coming up this month. A few trips to the Yorkshire base and back, a couple of work trips to Portsmouth, and a work trip to Strasbourg should see me add a few more miles before the year is up.

12,483 miles for me currently, although I have very little left to go this year. 483 miles over my target so I'm happy about that!

crispy1978 · 25 Nov 2015

Updated for the 113 mile round trip to Wakefield for the Model Railway Exhibition at the weekend.

Now 1934 for the year. Only one more scheduled trip this year to Accrington for New Year (return in 2016!)

Trainfan344 · 27 Nov 2015

Just started working out mileage since April, so my mileage should go up pretty soon.

Anybody able to confirm (preferably from official sectional appendix) mileages for the Borders railway please?

Kite posted this up earlier: http://www.railforums.co.uk/showpost.php?p=2345005&postcount=310

I suspect this is based on sectional appendix data, but can't be 100% sure. I might check it out at home later.

Just 974 miles for me in November, my lowest monthly target of the year to date. Only one London Travelcard bash of note in November due to lack of time after starting a new job so the remainder of my mileage was commuting.

That leaves me on 22603 for the year, so my target of 24000 miles and a place in the top 10 is looking like a bit of a challenge right now, it depends on whether I can get another bash in before Christmas.

Does anyone have the mileage between Bull Street and Jewellery Quarter on the Midland Metro please?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers!

dcd · 8 Dec 2015

Just added my trip to Glasgow this weekend which brings my total to 16950 which make me 11th in the table. All of this is leisure travel - no commuting etc. My best year yet.

Trainfan344 · 10 Dec 2015

Does anyone have the mileage between Hyde Park and Sheffield Station direct on the Sheffield SuperTram?

Also, Mileage for the Bure Valley Railway is needed as well if anybody has it or knows where to find it!

1400m/69ch apparently.

Kite159 · 11 Dec 2015

Anybody got the mile data for the Oxford Parkway to bicester Village/haddenham? (The new chord)?

andyb2706 · 12 Dec 2015

12,364 miles this year, quite happy with that as I beat last years. Hopefully still another trip or two may be had. Next years target will to be to beat this years result.

I have Oxford Parkway to Haddenham on my RM, 20m69c

8m11c for Oxford Parkway to Bicester. Not got anything to/from Islip I'm afraid.

I haven't finished for the year yet, I have one major trip left to go on Monday and then Tuesday morning. I hope to be out on 21st December, which will be the final bash of 2015, it's scary that it's coming to that point already!

I'm looking at a minimum of 10,000 miles for 2016, I'd like to set the bar a little higher but I have severe doubts I'm going to get much done in Q1 2016, therefore not aiming too high for now!

hassaanhc · 13 Dec 2015

So far during December I've managed to do almost 128 miles on LUL and DLR, but only 33 miles on National Rail

would have only been yesterday's 13.5 miles if I hadn't done the round London Bridge to East Croydon run on 171s at the beginning of the month.

rg177 · 13 Dec 2015

Now on 32,136. One more trip to go this year which I think will probably be a flexi-rover with 2 days in 2015 and 2 in 2016!

Assuming you need the whole distance Wroxham to Aylsham is 8m 63ch. Anybody interested in distances in the UK and many foreign countries might be interested in this page on Facebook (don't need an account to view).

Ta

Rail Miles is giving 2 miles, 16 chains from "OXFPWAY" to Islip, which I'm assuming "OXFPWAY" is Oxford Parkway

CallySleeper · 14 Dec 2015

Disappointed after doing a quick rough calculation, I think I'm going to miss out on 15,000 miles for the year by about 250 - unless I can think of something quick!

backontrack · 16 Dec 2015

Now reached 5423 after a quick recalculation.

That puts me 47th.

Wroxham to Buxton is needed as well if you have it.

backontrack · 18 Dec 2015

Wouldn't that be Wroxham to Aylsham and Hoveton to Buxton?

fishquinn · 19 Dec 2015

I'm now on 17056 after what I think is my last trip of the year.

No. That would be Wroxham to Buxton on the Bure Valley..

backontrack · 22 Dec 2015

Yes, but are you referring to Wroxham or Hoveton & Wroxham? Otherwise it's the same track...

Wroxham to Buxton Lamas is 5m 36ch.

I end the year on 12,894 miles and 4 chains. As of the time of typing this post, I was 22nd in the table, missing the desired Top 20 by 2 places

Target for 2016 is much the same as for 2015, that is 12,000 miles or an average of 1,000 miles per month. Ideally I'll hit more than that, but we will see! If 2016 starts the way I intend it to, then it'll be a very good year!

Trainfan344 · 27 Dec 2015

Does anybody have details for Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway to Manuel? Preserved Diesels only has details round to Birkhill.
