Didcot West Curve Junction
Note: Railway distance value is based on the way positions on british railway lines and Major Roads in Britain are described as a distance from a major place (I think in this case its based to Paddington but it varies as the Network layout becomes complex so
Note3: to confuse signs now placed at metric distances have text quoting Yards instead of meters its a very quite debate as to wether the road signs should be redone as even the driving test is dual unit'ed now...
Note 2: is more useful to think as a local relitive distance for many puposes) as most railways were built before 1973 Imperial units are common under a legacy agreement that was only to last about 40 years. So like new roads new railways are mesured in metric.
