Link?

edit

Was there a link at Margate East to join the Margate Sands line? See {{Chatham Main Line}}. One or the other of these two diagrams is incorrect! Mjroots (talk) 11:09, 30 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Almost: according to

it was opened circa 1900, closed 1976. At the Margate end the connection to the LCDR faced west, but was east of the bridge. --Redrose64 (talk) 19:34, 30 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Break

edit

There is a break in the lines below the Dumpton Park entry. Can anyone fix this? Keith D (talk) 19:17, 24 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

If you mean that the solid red changes to dotted red, that is intentional. The line was built by the SR to link the former SER and LCDR systems. --Redrose64 (talk) 21:46, 24 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
No it is the break in the 2 vertical lines that I am speaking about. Looks like the wrapping of Dover on to a second line causing the icons not to meet. Keith D (talk) 22:06, 24 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I see what you mean - but only if I change my zoom level. At normal zoom (Ctrl+0 in Firefox), the railway lines join correctly, and the text "To Ashford and Dover" is on one unwrapped line. --Redrose64 (talk) 22:51, 24 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
OK, as you say, at that zoom level but not the one I use. Keith D (talk) 23:21, 24 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
