Is there a source within Network Rail that has all the ELRs with miles/chains for all the stations and junctions with the ELR they connect to? In a digital way (CSV, Excel, SQL, etc).

I know there are things like the Railway Codes website but it's not an official source and don't know what the source data is.

For current routes, you want the Sectional Appendix [to the Working Timetable - to give the full name]. That is the main source for Railway Codes, too.

The official source data is indeed the Sectional Appendix. All other data is supposed to be taken from it. Each table will show the routes at a junction with the Line Of Route Code, and then if you go to that LOR table it'll show the ELR in the top corner. It should show all mileages, with mileages on the connecting lines in brackets.

Bear in mind that ELRs are used primarily by the Engineering departments, whereas planning departments tend to use the LOR codes instead.

The quail map books also have that data

Thanks for the reply. Sorry, I didn't specify in a digital file(s) or database. I've updated the first post to reflect that.
