Distance between stations?

Groucho2000

Hi. Would anyone know where I can get the distances in KMs between the various intercity stations? I can get times but not the distances for the routes. Thanks.

Network statement might have them? Or enough info where they can be estimated.

I've seen them somewhere once before but I think that was part of tender docs for some project.

Or simply ask http://www.railusers.ie/passenger_info/fare_calc_2020.php

IE 222

The network statement will show you the various route sections and the milepost's but that isn't necessarily the true distance from the lines starting point. Some routes are a combination of previous alignments. It will give a rough milepost location of most stations.

You could buy this book:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Irish-Railways-Traction-Peter-Jones/dp/0947773150

Quite old but it has a comprehensive table of distances and speeds for all lines in both IE and NIR. The only main omission would be the Belfast harbour link from Central to Yorkgate.

It is of course in miles and chains not kilometres as those are the units the railways use.

Thanks everyone. I looked at the network report and while it had distances there was a bit of adding up etc. to get the figures and I'm not sure it had all of the Kms for the routes. I ended up going with the railusers website for the KMs. Thanks again, much appreciated.

This is another interesting tool, I'm not sure how accurate it is. Probably not bad as the info comes directly from OSM.
Just move the two markers to the start and end point of the route in question.
