On inspection referencing/sourcing is a tad muddled (Adding online refernece Whitshaw as further reading was almost good almost? duplicating existing general source was an issue). I'm expecting Thomas' book in a few days and I'll see if I can help at some point.Djm-leighpark (talk) 06:56, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article states the original design was just under 4 miles long, but there is no further mention of the constructed length. Anyone have the number? It seems close to that, but it appears the end points moved slightly. Maury Markowitz (talk) 17:48, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

According to

• Whishaw, Francis (1842). The Railways of Great Britain and Ireland (2nd ed.). London: John Weale. p. 285.

the railway from the London terminus which is immediately over Joiner Street, Southwark to the station in London Street, Greenwich was 3+3⁄4 miles. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:26, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seems worth adding... Maury Markowitz (talk) 19:19, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
