A length of 36 miles with many signals functioning automatically.

London & South Western Railway

This page should be regarded as “Work in Progress”. The webmaster will welcome additional information for this page.

In the list below the information is set out in tabular form, spread over four columns. The column entries are -

RailRef The Line Code used in RailRef system.
Line Detail The principal locations included within the Line Code. They are arranged in 'down' direction order. Locations shown are primarily stations and junctions to allow easy cross check against published atlases. Signal box names appear in italics where these are 'intermediate' to stations or have been shown to facilitate links from other pages on this web site. The inclusion of a station or junction name does not imply that there was always a signal box of that same name!
SBR The section reference used in the relevant Signal Box Register published by the Society.
ELR The corresponding Engineer's Line Reference(s). This will be blank for railways that never came within British Railways terms of reference. It will also be blank where British Railways had no surviving responsibility for infrastructure at the time the ELR system came into use.

Milepost mileages for the LSWR are principally taken from Waterloo. As Waterloo is currently regarded as being 0m05c the datum is probably relates to the buffer stops of the main line station before the rebuilding or to the boundary with the SECR on the former connecting line. For conveniance and to relate to other publications present day mileages have been used with earlier ones listed or referred to as appropriate.

The SRS has in its possession a set of LSWR Distance Books which are undated. A similar set for the SECR and LBSCR sections were dated November 1931. The books are marked 'revision mileage' and include milepost mileages that were being proposed. The track layouts appear to date from about 1922 and the 'revision mileages' have been carefully stuck over the original ones shown. Some of the 'revision mileages' were implemented and some were not.

The revision mileage book (c1931) shows disparities between the scaled distances within the mile blocks in the book and the mileage figures declared, hinting that mileage error had been discovered but the pages had not been redrawn. These start with about 5-6 chains drift between Winklebury and Worting Junction and a further 5-6 chains between Wallers Ash East and Wallers Ash. This could be the origin of the 'Northam short mile' if the line was subsequently remiled from Winklebury to Northam leaving a 'jump' at the latter location.

The revision mileage book (c1931) shows a variety of milepost mileages for this route and proposed a change to using ones via the Northam curve and Sway as set out above. Some of the old mileages are shown in brackets above. The change was implemented and a file of level crossing survey reports in the SRS archive contains a list of old and new mileages for the crossings. Reports dated up to 1943 use the old mileages and those dated 1944 onward use the new ones. This may well be when the change was implemented.

Prior to remiling the milepost mileages datum were:
Tunnel Junction - Lymington Junction: Waterloo via Southampton Terminus
Lymington Junction to Christchurch Junction: Brockenhurst.
Christchurch Junction - Branksome Junction: Waterloo via Southampton Terminus and Ringwood.

The revision mileage book (c1931) shows disparities between the scaled distances within the mile blocks in the book and the mileage figures declared, hinting that mileage error had been discovered but the pages had not been redrawn. These start with about 5-6 chains drift between Winklebury and Worting Junction and a further 5-6 chains between Overton and Whitchurch. This could be the origin of the 'Fisherton short mile' if the line was subsequently remiled from Winklebury to Salisbury West leaving a 'jump' at the latter location.

19th century OS maps show milepost mileages that match the present situation. However, the 1931 distance book proposed remiling using zero at Eastleigh East Junction to 22m51c at Tunnel Junction. There is no evidence that the change was ever implemented although George Pryer's Track Layout Diagrams (volume S3) uses them. Perhaps, given the 1980 change on the Lymington branch, he was expecting such a change to occur when he went to print in 1981.

The 1931 revision mileage book shows a difference in proposed milepost mileages of 10 chains at Wilton South compared with today and appears to have miscalculated by adding rather than subtracting to correct the Fisherton short mile. By Exeter Central the disparity is 30 chains! This might be why the proposed change was never implemented.

There seems to be an 18 chain error in all mileages from Cowley Bridge westward. St Davids Junction is at 172m04c and the GWR quoted mileages from there to Cowley Bridge are 194m00c to 192m52c (1m28c). Adding 1m28c to 172m04c gives an expectation of 173m32c at Cowley Bridge, 18 chains less than the official distances in the Sectional Appendix and 26 chains less than proposed in the revision mileage book.
