Just updated my mileage for the first time in ages and I'm up to 9795 for the year so far (but this excludes underground mileage as I have yet to work that out!). I'm surprised that this puts me as high as it has at 11th!

Haven't been here for a while but I'm now up to 6856 miles for 2015 and with various plans for the next week, it looks as though August may be my most productive month ever :)

I've got my RM back now, although I only have my phone to use for access to it which is irritating to do such a big job with. So until I can source a new laptop then I won't be getting on with the mammoth task of adding two months of journeys to it.

While I think about it, anyone able to tell me what Ebbw Vale Town to Pye Corner comes in at?

Total mileage for August comes in at 3514, my most productive month of the year, which puts me onto 18868 for the year.

I've overtaken my total for last year by 400 miles and I'm around 5000 miles short of my target for the year, but unless there's a change in circumstances (i.e. I get a job) there wont be any further big days out, so I'll have to stick to some Travelcard bashes.

I'm hoping I can maybe just make the top 10, or at least beat last years 15th place.

I really need to separate my work mileage from my allowable mileage to be able to enter.
My current total is just over 80000 all together. I would say my work mileage is around half of that

I would enter but I have the ultimate evil of including bus journeys in my mileage shown below <D ... also, I may fall foul of the "work" rule as I include journeys where I am sent from the station I work at to other stations to deliver replacement computer parts etc, so that might not be allowed ;)

I'll no doubt be flying up the table soon too, once I have time to get cracking with the many journeys I still have to add to my RM pages. If there's time on Sunday I'll start work on it, but that relies on a WiFi signal being accessible at Birmingham Airport.

I might have my correct total on the table by Christmas :lol:

I'm now on 7310 for the year, with August being my best month on record, bringing in 1517m 55ch, thanks to a holiday in Shropshire and a visit to family in Dorset.

Just added 228 from a trip to London now at 13119 and all leisure travel, no commuting. Should jump again in the next fortnight with the Border Reiver and a trip by Eurostar on the direct from London to Avignon and back. Plus a trip to Chesterfield for the the Barrow Hill LNS Gala

Sleeves rolled up, check.
Large coffee made, check.
Tablet on charge, check.
Tunes on, check.

I'm finally getting on with the huge task of updating my RailMiles, at least 3 weeks later than I intended to. All the way back to 29th June I had to go to back to for tram moves.

Thanks must go to crehld and bb21 for their most appreciated help with mileage charts and mileage lookups in this thread so far. I do have a query though, and I'm surprised it's not been asked yet:

Edinburgh to Waverley to Tweedbank, looks to be at least 30 miles but I suspect a fair bit more than that. Also:

Tweedbank to Galashiels Galashiels to Stow, Stow to Gorebridge, Gorebridge to Edinburgh are the other figures I need. Thanks in advance to whoever can provide the answers!
