Hi Iain
I was also expecting a separate chain and GRI, but yes, 63710 seems to be
all there is.
Had me scratching my head for a while but for timing purposes at least it's
just "business as usual":-)
Those extra stations provide the localised corrections that are then
transmitted via the exiasting transmitters.

Right, so GRI 63710. I had heard a while back that there were some
extra transmitters on the south coast specifically for eLORAN, but
finding the ED's or if they are on the same GRI has proved fruitless
so far.
