Right, I managed to hunt down a couple of publications so I can put some definite numbers in now

Surprisingly St Pancras International Low Level hadn't made it into the LMR Sectional Appendix, but typically for the Railway I found it in the LNER updates for Feb 2008
To prevent arguments later, let me make it absolutely clear that the
MILEAGE DATUM I'm using is MOORGATE as 0m00ch.
This makes sense as all three stations lie on the Moorgate lines, however confusion can occur as there are two others datums (data ?) that crop up sometimes for stations on this route...(1) The LMR/SR boundary in Snowhill Tunnel, and (2) St Pancras Mainline.
Also sadly the LNER Sexual Appendage only covered the LMR as far as Kentish Town, but hopefully Lensmeister should already have the distance from there to West Hampstead TL.
What I have then is...
Farringdon 0m62ch
St Pancras Int LL 2m11ch
Kentish Town 3m40ch
If my base80 algebra is correct,
Farringdon - St Pancras Int Low Level is 1m29ch
and
St Pancras Int Low Level - Kentish Town is also 1m29ch
Spooky or what ?
So St Pancras lies bang slap in between the two existing stations.
It's not quite the answer to Lensmeister's question, but it should be enough to get him sorted.

Also with the new station at Mitcham Eastfields the distances between thre and Streatham and Eastfields and Mitcham Juntion?
|
Right, on this one I don't know what the Mileage Datum was because it came from the Periodical Operating Notice so I didn't have all the pages (I'm guessing it might be Victoria Central side).
Anyway the location of Eastfields was confirmed as 9m19ch, so once again if my base80 algebra is correct, taking...
Streatham as 7m48ch
Eastfields as 9m19ch
Mitcham Jn as 10m30ch
Streatham - Eastfields is 1m51ch
Eastfields - Mitcham Jn is 1m11ch
As a quick check that gives the distance from Streatham to Mitcham Jn as 2m62ch, which is correct in my SA. Phew !
Well I hope this is of some use use, and I hope I haven't shamed myself in front of the world as a maths klutz.
F.P.
