Thanks for the update

If you want more up to date versions, I would recommend the Heritage Railway Miles & Chains book by Stuart Clarke.

Yeah I know Stuart. Used to work with him years ago.
Lovely guy.
I keep meaning to get the latest version of one of the European books.
Have to sort out giving him a call.

In case it's of any use I've attached my own small list of selected mileages. It was purely intended for my personal use so it's a bit cryptic and in some cases incomplete for intermediate stations, and it uses mostly made-up station codes (which are not difficult to work out though!). Obtained from various sources including working out values from Track Atlas.

It covers the GCR, ELR, Bluebell, Peak Rail, Watercress, Spa Valley, GWSR, EVR, and the SVR
I think the figures are accurate apart from Eridge as noted, but no guarantees given!

It's just a plain text file but as it's got non-Windows line endings may not show correctly in (e.g.) old versions of Windows Notepad (current versions should be OK).
