Hi guys does anyone know the highest point on Shrewsbury to Newport via Welsh Marches and if there are any tunnels? Thank you so much
Is Llanvihangel the highest point on the line?
I'll defer to that. If memory serves, there's a plaque confirming the 613 feet elevation on the Shrewsbury bound platform at Church Stretton station. Definitely a hundred foot or so higher than at Llanvihangel Summit.It looks as if the highest point for the whole route is just south of Church Stretton, at 613 feet above sea level. Llanvihangel is the highest point between Hereford and Newport.
Those three are the only ones shown in Railway Track Diagrams, which is my standard reference for such information.Anyone aware of any tunnels on the Marches Line other than the ones already mentioned upthread in post #2?
