AYL Abbeyhill to Craigentinny Line

AYL2 Mileage change to mileage change

   0.40	Lochend Junction with AYL1 (1.35) and LOP (0.00)
   0.45	MEADOWBANK STADIUM also known as EDINBURGH M.
   0.63	PIERSHILL
   0.77	Piershill Junction with ECM8 (1.59)

Although stated as being measured from Easter Road Junction, this looks unlikely in view of the surrounding lines.  This revised measure looks more likely:
   0.00	Piershill Junction with ECM8 (1.59)
   0.14	PIERSHILL
   0.32	MEADOWBANK STADIUM also known as EDINBURGH M.
   0.37	Lochend Junction with AYL1 (1.35) and LOP (0.00)

In addition, in later years it appears that this measure was used:
   1.35	Lochend Junction with AYL1 (1.35) and LOP (0.00)
   1.40	MEADOWBANK STADIUM also known as EDINBURGH M.
   1.58	PIERSHILL
   1.72	Piershill Junction with ECM8 (1.59)
