The map draws the line on its own, names every station along it, and shows the trains running on it right now.
The line in numbers
| Track | about 56 miles, counting every running line |
|---|---|
| Stations | 11 |
| Top line speed | 90 mph |
| Passengers a year | 22.4 million entries and exits across its stations |
No end-to-end length is given for this line because OpenStreetMap applies its name to several separate stretches of track, so any figure measured from the map data would be a fragment of the real route rather than the whole of it.

Passenger figures are the Office of Rail and Road's estimates of station usage for 2024-25, added up across the stations on this line. They count entries and exits at those stations rather than journeys along the line, and a station served by more than one line is counted for each of them.
