Newmarket & Chesterford Railway

Hi Rich,

Thanks for adding the route map to Newmarket and Chesterford Railway Company, that's really cool. It was suggested I do it, but I've not done one before— looks like now is not my chance to try.

It seems to be the way, I just edited the Six Mile Bottom article to add coordinates (as I've been doing for a lot of places marked with coordinates missing in Cambridgeshire; those that remain are just difficult to know where to put them) and then thought hmmm no stub so made a stub for the station and then linked it all in to the railways and cambridgeshire and added some pictures to the Commons and tidied up other articles that didn't link to the Newmarket railway well you know how it is... so the station stub really was not much work but it turned into quite a job!

I just went to Galloway & Porter, the remaindering bookshop, round the corner (Cambridge city centre) they have for £1 books on the fen lines ("Iron though the fens" or something it's called). It's mostly pictures but perhaps I should get a copy if anyone else you think would find it useful. Unfortunately nothing on N&CR though.

I am assuming from reading other posts you are based in Cambs and have a clue what I am on about. Necessarily one can't have a "wordwide view" on these local things :) SimonTrew (talk) 16:44, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi, someone else has added to the route diagram. That's often the way it happens, someone starts an article and others add to it. I've not heard of Iron through the fens. The Cambridgeshire Collection at the central library should reopen this year (sometime) and provide sources for local history. Rich257 (talk) 08:10, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

BTW I sorted everything with coordinates missing in Cambridgeshire, and got bugger all thanks for it. SimonTrew (talk) 21:07, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
