​Severn Tunnel Junction
Including Dean Forest Railway and Sudbrook branch
​Members and general visitors to the CRS site will be interested in visiting http://www.railmaponline.com        From the opening page a full map of the UK can be accessed which can then be enlarged to show every railway line in the UK.     Not just today's network but  lines from the past have been overlaid.     As you zoom in sidings and even tramways become visible.   

A valuable tip from Guy Vincent.
