@GraemeLeggett: Any better suggestions? Keith-264 (talk) 12:01, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Draw the route on a map and add it to the article? Couod probably reuse same image for some articles. GraemeLeggett (talk) 14:07, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Would that I knew how. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 15:34, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Are there any maps of the route in the official histories I could crib from? I could probably draw the route on a CC map and use that.GraemeLeggett (talk) 08:52, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Roskill has a fair few [1] There is also the Russian diagram. I put 'Data from... unless indicated' for when more information comes available but you can revert that if you prefer. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 09:20, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Table widths

@Hohum: I think that tables look better with the same width, close to the right margin, don't you? Regards Keith-264 (talk) 17:05, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

The adjustment was for readability per table for various browser widths, so that the notes section preferentially shrinks before the other columns, which get difficult to read if wrapped. (Hohum ^@) 17:31, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

I feared as much; is there something like |upright to compensate? Regards Keith-264 (talk) 21:32, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

@Xyl 54: You might want to venture an opinion about layouts. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 17:33, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
