Engineer's Line References (ELRs)

Mileages

Last update 15 November 2023

Additional information is always gratefully received, whether entirely new records (particularly historical records) or information to fill in gaps or correct errors, via the contact link under the Miscellaneous entry in the navigation bar above. Thank you.

Mileages are given in the form miles.chains unless stated otherwise. Figures prefixed with ≈ are approximate, those in parentheses are not on this route but are given for reference. Reference to 'start'/'end' of an asset are as read down the page.

Distances on this page are taken from drawings submitted to parliament in preparation for the acts permitting construction. Most are derived from scaling drawings; only a few defined points were given. All figures are in km and all are subject to change as the project progresses.

It is expected that separate ELR codes will be allocated in due course, at which point the data below will move to appropriate new pages.
