User:Useddenim/WCML diagram

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a route-map template for the West Coast Main Line, a UK railway.

Note: Per consensus and convention, most route-map templates are used in a single article in order to separate their complex and fragile syntax from normal article wikitext. See these discussions [1],[2] for more information.

The West Coast Main Line is a major trunk railway in the United Kingdom, linking London with Glasgow. The Watford DC lines are intricately linked with the southern part of the WCML and are also shown in full. A detailed diagram of the line is housed on this page for technical reasons. Note that some complex areas have been simplified for clarity.

Where dates for a railway station are shown as e.g. (1853–1959/1964) these refer to the dates of closure to passengers and freight.
