Route Coverage

[Jordy]

Yeah! A few annoying bits to do but i'm getting there

 

[me123]

At least you've finally got Wick and Thurso done, though! And you could easily do Oban as part of a trip to Glasgow I'd say.

After a long period of absence, here is my coverage map:

Yep, couldn't do it on a cart, a 142 to Colne was bad enough! Should also get St Ives and Falmouth done with something decent next year...

Updated

Added BHM-Glasgow (87002) and BHM-Felixstowe (1995 fam holiday) I remember the fam holiday well we watched freight pass the level crossing right next to our Fixed cavavan thingy (ahhh how things were in the 90`s )

 

[Jordy]

I advise using the flood fill tool

Fair enough. I did it on a 156, all the way from Kilmarnock to Stranraer then, after the long wait back (thank Goodness for Tesco being nearby!) all the way back to Glasgow! Not in a rush to do that again!

Would you care to expand upon your cryptic clue at the end there (via PM if necessary)?

Railways Illustrated, near the back...

Bah, I don't read the railway mags, and since I've spent a princely sum on a railtour this weekend I don't have the cash to buy RI either. Any chance of even a couple of hints?

All will be revealed, but keep May free...

 

[Techniquest]

Very good, May will be kept free! Ta for the hints, when my 2010 diary is received I'll make a note in it!

 

[37372]

Just re-uploaded mine having done Penzance, Oban, Worthing, Maesteg, Penarth, Ebbw Vale and Windermere along with various lines and branches in the London area.

 

[Techniquest]

Looks pretty good that too!

You've reminded me that I've got to still update my map from last week's track bash, so I'll have to get that done later.

 

[Techniquest]

Had to d/load my map from my Photobucket gallery, so not very good quality I'm afraid, but as far as I know it's now up-to-date. Didn't take long as I ain't done much new track for months.

Newest updates were Maidenhead to Marlow and Twyford to Henley-on-Thames. Much more to come eventually after the Buffer Puffers!

Map attached below

Thanks
I finally got Maidenhead and Marlow done on Tuesday, boring, but out of the way now at least!

Boring indeed, I compared trekking to Marlow to a flat version of the Heart of Wales!

Huge amount of coverage going on there Jordy! hock:

 

[gtis]

hi all
i know it might be a daft question
but how do you use the route coverage map
neil

 

[Jordy]

Right click the link on the first page, select save target as. Then open it in an editing program (MS paint will do!) and use the flood fill and pen tools to fill in where you've been

 

[Chester025]

Sheerness, Bromley South - Gillingham - Faversham - Dover Priory, Ramsgate - Faversham added.

 

[Matt Taylor]

Top bashing chaps, my sum total of the last five years is the Lymington branch, Enfield Town and the Chingford branch!!

 

[Chester025]

Very good, May will be kept free! Ta for the hints, when my 2010 diary is received I'll make a note in it!

[Techniquest]

Thanks for the link, read about it on the WNXX forum earlier. Sure would like to do that one! Had forgotten about you saying to keep May free, randomly. Still, May is free!

Please excuse my ignorance, but what timescale do the maps cover? is it this year, or in your while life, last five years or what? I haven't done many routes but would like to do a map. Look forward to responses.
