I'm now up to 2561mi 17ch for this year. In both January and February I've fallen just short of my total for 2012, and it looks likely I'll do the same for March. I did only manage to travel 291 miles last April, however, so stand a good chance of beating that.

Total mileage is 11 miles. Soemone has done an FOI request, but is still awaiting a response from the Borough Council.

Thanks, but I knew the total, it's the intermediates that I'm after. I wish I'd used the GPS on my phone now, didn't think of it at the time.

You might have a long wait. I have an FoI request with them for the same thing and it is already 6 days overdue.

If anyone wondering why I've shot up the table into the top 6, Ive been on a weeks all-line doing a mix of easter diversions, winner track in Cambridgshire/Essex and winner units.

Sorry to be a pain but can someone give me these mileages or tell me how to get them myself without Rail Mileage Engine as I cannot find the correct descripitions.

King's Cross to Baker Street (Hammersmith & City)
Baker Street to Marylebone (Bakerloo)
Elephant & Castle to Waterloo (Bakerloo)

Thanks in advance for any help

You can still use Railmiles if you know how...

...and this excellent data from bb21 gives you the exact information you need. All the appropriate station names for LUL are shown.

Using this, I can tell you that:

King's Cross to Baker Street (Hammersmith & City) = 1mi 39ch
Baker Street to Marylebone (Bakerloo) = 0mi 25ch
Elephant & Castle to Waterloo (Bakerloo) = 1mi 04ch

Went round Strathclyde to get the remaing 3 SPT 320's and 4 170's which then took me well over the 1,000 mile mark (previous total 981 miles) to 1127 miles.

I'm now up to 4371mi 16ch for the year so far.

I managed 343mi 17ch in April and 900mi 67ch so far for May, with more due to be added over the course of this week. I've now largely completed the suburban services in South London and am about to tidy up a few bits in Yorkshire which should hopefully bring me over 1000 miles for May.

Still got a lot of Tube moves to add from last week yet, as well as fixing mileages for some of the moves on the mainline, so I haven't got my figures on here updated yet. I'll get there eventually, and I could do it today but I've got a lot of other stuff to do today, ahead of a week off to Ireland :)
