USEFUL MAPS
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.

LAUNCESTON Exc to HALWILL JUNCTION & OKEHAMPTON
Tower Hill
Ashwater
Halwill Junction
Halwill Junction had a very large complex of junctions to the north and sidings to the south of the station. Going north out of the station the lines straight ahead went to Bude. The 'witherered arm', the line to Launceston, Wadebridge and ultimately Padstow turned off sharp to the west. Some distance further on the branch through to Torrington, which had its own terminal platform at Halwill turned off to the right, first station, Hole.
