For train-timers, numerologists and people who just like to know
where
they are, the following gives the official position of significant
points
on the coast route. The distances are measured in traditional units of
Miles and Chains (80 chains = 1 mile), measured from London Euston.
Tunnel
lengths are measured in yards, where 1 chain = 22 yards). On the line
itself,
there are posts marked with each whole number of miles, and
intermediate
quarter, half and three-quarter mile markers. Passenger stations open
to
the public are shown in BOLD CAPITALS, and working signalboxes
by
bold
lowercase. Crewe and Chester are controlled by large computerised
'signalling
centres.' The mileage is taken at the mid-point of the platforms,
except
at termini where the end of track is used. Tunnel mileages are for the
end nearest London.
