Talk:Tees–Exe line

Inaccurate map

Why does the northern end of the line on the map end at Flamborough Head, and not at the mouth of the Tees? SNALWIBMA ( talk - contribs ) 15:33, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

True! Here it is - I suggest it is only returned to the article page once it has been corrected as it is presently rather misleading - and the appearance of Watford Gap on the map is irrelevant.

In this image, the Severn-Wash line is shown in yellow, the Severn-Trent line in blue, the Tees-Exe line in red.

Nowhere have I read that it has to be a straight line and indeed a curving line would better fit the geography - in any case it was presumably always conceived of as an approximation. A straight line joining the mouths of the two rivers leaves the Forest of Dean, Mendip Hills and half of the Peak District on what might be thought to be the 'wrong side' of the line. Perhaps someone can provide a tweaked version of the map? The article needs a map that doesn't mislead. cheers Geopersona (talk) 13:21, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

Severn-Trent & Severn-Wash lines

Though these are mentioned, I've never heard of either in the context of dividing Britain into lowland and highland zones - which is what the Tees-Exe line is all about. Without any evidence I'd suggest these be removed from the article. I'm aware however that in language terms, the concept of a Severn-Wash line has some meaning. I'd note too that the Severn-Trent line marked on the map is inaccurate too as its NE end is at the mouth of the Humber and not the Trent. cheers Geopersona (talk) 14:18, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
