How close are you?

[Jord]

Grr 32 miles from Aberdeen station I am.

75 minutes by bus but soon when i'm driving, 30 minutes 8)

 

[will1337]

400 yards from the Hounslow loop, 3.4 miles from the GWML

 

[AlexS]

Not many feet at all from the Wolves to Shrewsbury line (no more than 40 or so)

When in Loughborough I suppose its about 2 miles to the Midland Mainline from here.

Wish I could live near Clapham Jn, but Clapham is a really dodgy place apparently, along with Croydon hock:

 

[33056]

About 10 minutes walk from the WCML, quite close enough for me

 

[Mojo]

Clapham Junction is actually in Battersea though and some say it was named by the original railway company as Clapham was much nicer!

I'm about 1.2km from the Crosscity line and the Cross Country Route, between Narroways Hill Jn & Filton Abbey Wood. It takes about 10 min to drive or cycle to Filton Abbey Wood station. The Severn Beach line at Redland is a bit further away and takes longer to drive mainly becuase of traffic though.

Well this is the view from my flat

The line is mixed in with the walls and trees beyond the car park - some good views though - and when you get Valentas passing it is truely deafening!

 

[Mushroom]

0.4 miles from the Wolves - Shrewsbury line when at uni, 0.3 miles from the Altrincham - Chester line when at home

 

[Techniquest]

Lucky beggar JsT, I am envious...

I live circa 14 miles from Knighton (on the HoW), 14 and a bit from Leominster and about 21 miles from Hereford. Oh, and around 20 miles from Llandrindod Wells (also on the HoW).

 

[P156KWJ]

aargh! this is when it gets annoying living right next to one! Bleedin tampers going up and down all night sounding like stupid hoovers

 

[1D53]

The last East Midlands Trains HST of the night is in. Just screamed in then confirmed on ldb about one minute later!

 

[Phoenix]

Well from the birmingham derby line about a mile but the Sutton park line to wasall about 500 yard's (hand for stock move's)

 

[DescendingSadly]

500 yards from my garden be the Halifax/ Milner Royd - Mirfield/Huddersfield railway

nothing special here

 

[33056]

aargh! this is when it gets annoying living right next to one! Bleedin tampers going up and down all night sounding like stupid hoovers

And that is the reason I chose to live a short walk away rather than right next to the railway

 

[Mintona]

Soon to be 20 minutes walk from a station in the north west

 

[Tom B]

Half a mile at most from Curriehill.

 

[Mintona]

Half a mile at most from Curriehill.

Seriously? My Uncle lived in Palmer Place (I think) near to the station until he died in January

 

[16CSVT2700]

0.8 miles or roughly 15 mins walking time from the GWML at Burnham (Berks)

 

[Crompton Karl]

I am very close to the London - Chatham mainline on Sole Street Bank, about 25 meters away. Its only a 5 min walk to the viewing point of the Medway Viaduct for the CTRL and 10 mins away from the Medway Valley Branch and Cuxton Station.

[Doorslammer]

The closest UK mainline I was near was the Aberdeen-Inverness line, not far from Orton.

I prefer to think about that railway rather than the railway I'm next to now (Armadale-Perth WA suburban line) because it was heaps more interesting to look at. Although the Kalgoorlie Prospector they use now is an absolute belter.

 

[me123]

Half a mile at most from Curriehill.

unlucky.

 

[Andrew Tiffin]

I live 105ft away from my line.

 

[P156KWJ]

very precise!

 

[JoshW1992]

About half a mile from Dover Priory station.

 

[Mintona]

It's no longer a 45min bus ride. More like a 5min drive.
