Mileage Request

[Keith Jarrett]

I am trying to work out all my railway mileages but i have come a bit unstuck with one railtour I did, RPPR's Great Farewells tour back in September 1980. Full details of the tour are on the excellent Six Bells Junction website http://www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk/ but no mileages. I have literature which gives me most UK mileages (in miles & chains) but i'm stuck here, with the leg to Consett.

Can anyone tell me the mileage for?
1. Washington Jn - South Pelaw Jn - Annfield - Consett BSC
2. Consett BSC - Annfield - South Pelaw Jn - King Edward Bridge

For the record 37143 was the motive power with a Class 08 assisting at Consett.

thanks in anticipation

Keith

I couldn't find it any of my 'Quail' Eastern books but an Internet search did throw up the following:

http://files.limitofshunt.org.uk/sectional-appendices/br-er/northern-area-1979.pdf

The Blackhill to Ouston section (through the Consett complex) starts on page 75 and goes through page 78. There is a mileage change at Consett North Jct.

The Pelaw South Jct. to Washington Jct. line can be found on page 189.

HTH.

Steve.
