Distance Charts

« on: March 04, 2011, 13:22:24 »

Don't know if this is a useful tool to anyone ... distances between stations. Default is TransWilts Grin

:

But you can put in up to 8 three letter codes and do your own route - for example:

(resolve),DID^» ,SWI^» ,CPM^» ,BTH^» ,BRI^» " target="_blank">http://www.wellho.net/demo/dchart.php?route=PAD^» ,RDG,DID,SWI,CPM,BTH,BRI

E&OE - please let me know of any stations missing or moved. Thanks!

Thanks - that's a good second tool.

I've updated the initial script so that it will take lower case now (not that I've ever seen the three letter codes use in lower case!). I may come back and add better error handling - i.e. to provide a form, and to tell the user which codes are wrong. I may also go for miles in the top right, and kms in the bottom left ...
