Talk:Olney railway station (England)

St Pancras to Bristol
This is quoted in the article as being 55.5 miles long - shurely shum mishtake!?109.94.137.1 (talk) 15:24, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
 * It's a bit odd. By my calculations, St Pancras to Bristol Temple Meads, using the shortest Midland Railway route, is 219 mi. If trains are routed via Olney, Stratford-upon-Avon and Evesham, we get:
 * MR St Pancras to Olney 60 mi
 * S&MJR Olney to Broome 55 mi
 * MR Broome to Bristol TM 68 mi
 * for a total of 184 mi, which gives a saving of 35 mi. So I would say that 55.5 is actually the length of the S&MJR route alone, rounded to 0.5 mile. -- Red rose64 (talk) 17:21, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
