Length of the line[edit]

Sources seem to vary on the length of this line. The article says 3.5 miles in the infobox, a statement that wasn't sourced by its author, but which I believe reflects a figure in The Railways of Purbeck (as referenced in the article). The web page from The Purbeck Mineral & Mining Museum referenced in the article quotes 4.75 miles.

But The Railways of Purbeck also implies a whole series of pits served by branches, the furthest of which (Povington) is over 5 miles from Ridge according to my OS map. So both 3.5 and 4.75 miles look suspect as a maximum extent figure including branches. Unless Povington wasn't rail served, in which case 4.75 miles might be reasonable. Anybody know for sure?. -- Chris j wood 16:47, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Povington was served by the line, there were also 2 branches serving mine shafts around East Creech, the total track length including the branches is nearer 7 miles, but not all at the same time! Cheekylittlemonkey81 (talk) 12:56, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
