At the top left of every Station page (or other major feature) are two buttons which allow you to switch between the web site’s main map and the enlarged scale local map of the particular area. From these maps, you can select another station, or feature.
On all station pages a button marked Detail map takes you to a large scale map of the immediate area around the station. This helps in finding the exact location of the station. The station or halt is correctly positioned. Features such as quarries also all have detail maps.
On some station pages a button takes you to an old OS map of the area. At the top of the old OS map, further buttons allow you to go back to one of the stations or features on the map. |

Two other buttons on top right of Station pages allow you to ‘travel’ to the next station, north or south, while on Detail map pages the buttons take you to the next detail map.

At the top right of every station page, a button labelled Multimap.com map takes you to the Multimap.com web site in a new window, and displays a present day map of the area surrounding the station, with the approximate location of the station/feature marked by a red circle. A scale bar is at bottom of map. An aerial photo of the same area is shown by selecting the button marked aerial at the top left of the map. The button marked hybrid gives a smaller rectangular superimposed map of the area which can be moved around over the aerial photo. You can zoom in or out, and you can pan the map/photo freely by holding down the left hand mouse button. The Grid Reference and Latitude and Longitude of the red circle position are shown below the map. Please note that the Detail Map on each station page will usually give the most accurate location of the station.

If you look closely, you can sometimes make out the route of the line, shown perhaps by a farm track, the line of a hedge, or a run of houses. On the current Ordnance Survey Explorer paper maps sheets 153 and 154, the route of the line can be seen in places if you look carefully.

If you want a map or aerial photo of a specific location, either go to the Maps intro page and enter the place name or post code in the Multimap.com box at the bottom, or, when in a Multimap.com page, enter an address or post code into the box on the left side of the window.
