Hi.
I am trying to find information regarding the load and structure gauge with respect to stations situated on ex-broad gauge double track lines when converted to standard gauge. In particular the centreline distance between the two tracks, and the distance between the platform edges.
I have arrived at dimensions of 15'-10" and 25'-4" respectively. This is based on the assumption that as in the 1933 GWR load and structure drawing the distance between running faces of the centre pair of rails is 6'-6" and that between the platform edge and its nearest rail running face is 2'-4 3/4".
