    If anyone's interested the 2016 version of Ian Allan's Gradients of British Mainline Railways is currently available at a cover price of £15.00. Got mine from Postscript Books at £9.99

    Must admit I would have thought most of it was dead flat:).

    Indeed. But the one or two gradients (even if it is a 1:999999 for 2 metres) would interest me as I'm looking to do some modelling at some point.

    Thanks - post on page 1 updated. Some steep gradients there!

    Doesn't include the new diversion either by the looks of it?

    Hi all,

    Does anyone have an up to date version of the Foxfield's gradient profile? The links in the thread all direct to an old webpage and I can't find another version online.

    Cheers,

    PLP

    Brilliant, thanks for that! I hadn't clicked on any of the Facebook links as I don't have it myself but I don't need to be logged in to see it so that's great.

    Cheers,

    PLP

    Nene Valley gradient profile ...

    I was given this shot several years ago, I hope that this is of use.

    The Bluebell link in your first post now doesn’t seem to work correctly - just gives the home page of the Bluebell for-the-pubic website, not a direct link to the gradient profile.
    (Was actually looking for the profile for the Ardingly line - not sure if that would be on there, either?).

    Apologies if the answer is somewhere in the above nine pages - haven’t had time to read all that today!

    Does not include Ardingly.

    I’ve updated the first page.

    As @Paul42 says, doesn’t include the Ardingly branch.
