There's a lot of red on that map unfortunately.

 

[Crossforth]

Here is my latest map:

Dark blue is mainline
Dark green is preservation
Light blue is tram
Orange is narrow gauge
And all the pretty colours show the London Underground + DLR

 

[route101]

Anyone got a template that you can fill in with colour?

 

[Jordy]

I've decided to release the updated version that I've been using, had given it to a few people on request so I thought I might as well release it given that the old one is quite out of date now. The link on the first post has been updated, the map can be found here.

My own map has been updated and as ever can be found here.

Someone's been busy travelling

 

[W-on-Sea]

A fair way to go yet...

(See I mistakenly called the file "my UK rail travel", rather than GB.
Well, add Londonderry to Coleraine on NIR to that then to be a complete record...

 

[route101]

ticked off the LanarkBranch.

 

[Techniquest]

Must have been thrilling!

*He says, still needing it himself*

 

[37372]

You're not missing much, it's quite high up on my scale of shrill and boring branchlines.

Time to upload my latest map, updates from last time include Oakham-Corby, Shepperton, Gunnislake, Newquay, Falmouth and St Ives (completion of Devon & Cornwall branches! ) thanks to a holiday in Cornwall, and more recently, all passenger lines around Glasgow apart from Airdrie (saved for later) including Balloch, Helensburgh Central, Neilston and Lanark thanks to a trip there this week.

 

[Techniquest]

Wow, you've nearly finished the lot!

 

[manaichain]

Is this in one year or in total? And what's the best way to use the red/blue map that another poster kindly provided for everybody? in Paint?

 

[37372]

My map is for all time. I find Paint is the best, I use the pencil tool to close off openings to other lines that need to remain red, and then use the fill function to fill the un-required lines in blue.

 

[duffman82]

I decided to fill my in, Nothing compare to some on here but i'll get them all eventually!

 

[Hydro]

Just had a quick bash on mine. The joys of working test trains, with the exception of the South Eastern, all this was done in the last three months. A fair bit has been repeated several times, and I've done a lot of freight only branches that don't seem to be on here. 2011 will see most of that completed I'm sure, and I'm going to be keeping track of mileage next year too. All inadmissable in a court of RailUK competition, but fun all the same!

 

[atomicdanny]

Nothing much but I'd thought that I would add mine!

 

[Ivo]

Been a while since anyone's posted in here

Has anyone ever attempted to plan their mileage for the foreseeable future in an attempt to cover new areas by a set time? I shall demonstrate what I mean below. Note that, because I was bored this morning, I have already updated tomorrow's travel, so apparently I have been to Hereford even though I have never set foot in all of Herefordshire!

Anyway, note the black lines; those are ones I hope to have covered by the end of June.

 

[37372]

Wow it's been a while since my last update.
Here's my latest one, having done Airdrie-Bathgate, Stranraer and bits around London. The end is in sight!

 

[Techniquest]

Wow, you're nearly done! hock:

Can't find a decent quality copy of mine to update, so I'll try to get a snap of my paper copy at some point soon and upload that instead. I'm nowhere near as close to finishing as 37372!

 

[Ivo]

Oh wow! I see only three red lines! Two of those, which I have done myself, can be done within a three hour period. The third, nowhere near the others...

Saving the best 'til last?

 

[Techniquest]

That would be a good idea, celebrate getting your last bit of the passenger network in on one of the greatest bits of line in the country. I've already done the most scenic parts of the country's passenger network, so will no doubt end up finishing on some dull bit of East Anglia

 

[Eng274]

My route coverage isn't nearly as comprehensive as I'd like, but rent and bills unfortunately take precedence over sporadic jaunts once I'm working full time, weekends around the country with my railcard will become a common feature!

(I inverted colours, as it was easier than changing all the places I haven't been to red)

Not far off done now (the map is a bit of a mess - I'm part way through giving it a refresh, see Kent for refreshed bit!)

 

[TackerUK]

OK im going to sound a right plank here. But how do you make them route maps.

Download the blank map from here (provided by Jordy) then use MS paint (or similar) to fill in the lines you've done in blue. I would suggest using the flood and then the pen tool.

 

[Class172]

Here's my one. Not bad for a 14 year old, if I say so myself
The odd bits near leeds and brighton are where I was on holiday with my family and we decided to go on train as it was much quicker

 

[HST Power]

Here's my one. I have to say, I've covered a fair bit of it due to work.

 

[MidnightFlyer]

One day I'll do one showing everything I've done within memory but I have started a new one for this year onwards alone, and have got quite a bit done already!

This is a fair point actually. If I may, I'd like to put up my current one again (which isn't very different to the last one; only bits of West Wales and a tiny bit of the West Midlands added), and then also put up my pre-2009 map. Notice the huge improvement! (Liskeard to St Ives was on holiday.)

N.B.: For some reason, the thumbnail seems to be messed up! I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but the bottom half has been split into two and swapped over! The picture is correct though, even if the thumbnail isn't. I have tried reloading it many times, and across several different days, but it didn't work.

Well, anyway, I have put up a third picture, which shows what I hope to have at the end of May. Most of it relates to dates in my sig, but by no means all.

I like how it DOESN'T have a stupid thumbnail :roll:

 

[Ivo]

If this fails, and the thumbnail is still inverted, would a Moderator delete this post please?

EDIT: Er... Hello? This post had been deleted? Why is it back again? Is my account playing up?
