I have been out a lot more than you to be fair! I reckon once RM5 launches there will be a massive influx of updates!

Can anyone help me with the distance from Bathgate to Drumgelloch please? I've managed to get the milepost data of the rest of my journey on the route I'm travelling but not that little bit in the middle.
Thanks.

Also looking at the Eurostar from St Pancras to Brussels and on to Brugge/Bruges.
Does anyone have mileage for these two elements as well please?
Thanks.

St Pancras to Brussels is 373km (or 231.78 miles in old money).

Finally got round to adding all of my mileage up. I currently stand on 4165 miles, of which 2725 was achieved in the last month alone!

Nay drama
I'll have to dig out my Thomas Cook European Rail Timetable from 2013 to give you a KM figure (and if I feel generous a conversion into miles and chains
) but I can't vouch for how accurate it will be!

Wikipedia puts it at 57m23ch, Thomas Cook puts it at 57m13ch.

I've just booked another big trip, just under 3 months to wait for it mind. Well worth the wait hopefully though 
Got 750 miles at the minimum on just booked moves this month, let alone whatever I add on the various moves on the DaySave and West Yorkshire bashes. I'm not expecting a lot of mileage from the SuperTram bash on Monday, except for the journeys to/from Sheffield of course. So I'm definitely looking to be very close to the magical thou in May after all!

Whats the trip in 3 months?
Also, does anyone have the mileage between Leicester and Nottingham and Nottingham and East Mids Parkway?

Thanks Techniquest!
I can't wait to hear what your trip is; Hopefully it will be one filled with winners.

Thank you. Not going to argue over 10 chains!
Mileage engine is back after a fashion at http://rmme.railmiles.me/ but only does direct shortest distances at the moment and no underground.
For underground use the attached spreadsheet, just copy the appropriate miles and chains from columns F and G to columns H and I and the total will appear in J and K. Don't forget to delete from H and I after noting the result or they will be included in the next journey! Hope this is of use.

Does anyone know when you can get back the longer routs, LU and NET?
It does long routes just by shortest route. i.e. Euston to Carlisle does not go via Northampton. You can do Euston to Carlisle via Northampton by doing Euston to Northampton and then Northampton to Carlisle and adding the results.
The only person who could possibly know when it will do everything is Tom Cairns the creator of Railmiles

Actually, the engine now calculates Euston - Carlisle (and other WCML destinations) via Northampton, even though it is blatantly the longer route.
Additionally the lack of via points or facility to use codes is especially disappointing.

Stafford, Warrington BQ, all exhibit the same behaviour.

Via points would be helpful, but it's good that it's finally back online
Time to work out my missing distances from what RTT doesn't display.
I've previously had Peterborough to Newcastle down as 192 miles 27 chains, now Rail Miles is saying 193 miles 67 chains.
And searching London Kings Cross to Newcastle seems to be putting the routing via the Hertford Loop which is a couple miles more than going direct

Having covered quite a lot more than I thought I would in the last 2 days, I'm now on 5,200 miles for 2015 so far. 200 miles ahead of the target and a good few miles yet to come this month. I've managed to get 897 miles in May already, which is more than I was expecting! Of course, I'll be checking I've not got duplicate moves added to my RailMiles later!
Not looked at the table yet, as posting via the app, and I still have my Supertram moves to add yet too. I'm not due to go anywhere until 31st May currently, thanks to Bank Holiday Frothday getting in the way, so you've all got plenty of time to get ahead!

2800 miles so far, off on 1s16 tommorow so will pick up a fair few miles (totaling about 1500 miles maybe).
Finally managed to tot up everything this year. I currently stand on 5276. This is already ahead of my last year's total! A couple of Northern Day Rangers left should add to this in the next week or so, but then I suspect things will quieten down a bit for me.
