I'd also add that it's worth watching the overview videos that describe the project as a whole and the scope of just how many crossing points were closed over the years: http://www.borderroadmemories.com/about-the-project/ Fascinating stuff indeed. These match very closely with the family lore that's been passed down to me...

As soon as my ISP gets sorted I'll look at some more on that site.. 2 ISP's are combining and they seem to be conflicting at times in software...
