One I missed earlier - for the simple reason that I had thought it was the Milford Haven branch I needed, until I looked in my atlas last night and got a pleasant surprise!

Whitland - Tenby

What do you use to fill in your atlas, and most importantly, what atlas do you use? One from projectmapping?

It's a Baker atlas, and I use a red felt pen to indicate the routes I have been over.

I wouldn't have the time to go down to Quail level!

A RED pen?!?

We don't seem to have had a thread for track bashing before...? For track over which you have not been before:
This should explain it, some people do it as block as station to station (to use an example of mine) I did Eastleigh to Hilsea for the first time this year, but Ii listed it to the individual junction so put it down as Portcreek Junction (as I'd already covered the distance from there to Hilsea coming of the PDL via Haslemere), but at the Eastleigh end the junction it at the station, so I kept it as Eastleigh, even though I've done the track down to Southampton Airport before (2016). Some people, however, do it down to 'Quail level', or the individual peice of track, so to use a local to me example, the crossover from the Up Slow P1 to the Up Fast at the London end of Woking, or the access to Platform 6, which is much harder to get as Platform 6 is used by one early morning train Monday to Fridays!
