Template:River Thames routemap

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following items have been included:

  • Crossings carrying primary roads
  • Crossings carrying former British Rail railway lines.
  • The East London line and District line.
  • Locks and bridges that have prominence in regulating the river
  • Other structures to identify prominent towns that have not been identified.
  • Non-tidal rivers that have an average discharge of more than 1 m3/s
  • Canals

The conversion 1 sea mile = 6080 ft was obtained by calculation from the Port of London handbook (see below). This is different to the nautical mile of 1852 m.
This is a route-map template for a UK waterway.

Note: Per consensus and convention, most route-map templates are used in a single article in order to separate their complex and fragile syntax from normal article wikitext. See these discussions [1],[2] for more information.

Suitable instructions belong here – please add to {{UK-waterway-routemap}}.

For finding bridge numbers, canalplan.org.uk may be useful.
