Title: Geospacial route viewing website Post by: IndustryInsider on April 15, 2021, 17:50:38 A poster over on RailForums has made an excellent website giving technical details for any route in the UK.
https://railmap.azurewebsites.net/Public/Route Well worth a look for anyone who loves to know about gradients and electrification. It's just been released into the public domain, so expect the odd error and expect more detail to come.

I think the country end gradient extends too far south unless its form has been reprofiled since the age of steam.
