Trivia: Stations that are 1 minute apart

[anti-pacer]

Moorfields to Lime Street on Merseyrail, as I discovered today.

 

[USBT]

South Ealing - Northfields.

Yes it’s the tube but in outer London. It’s timetabled (TFL JP) as one minute but the actual journey time from train departing to doors opening at the other station is about 30 seconds (same as Embankment-Charing Cross on the Northern line).

Barbican-Moorgate is also timetabled as one minute.

 

[Dstock7080]

South Ealing - Northfields.

Scheduled for 1½min westbound.

Barbican-Moorgate is also timetabled as one minute

Scheduled for 1½min each way.

Has anyone mentioned West India Quay to Canary Wharf on the DLR which the running time between the stations must be 30 seconds or less...!
The platform ends are about one train length apart.

 

[Colind]

Although why anybody would board at Ferry Road, travel via Plymouth to Victoria Road is a mystery

Quite. The station entrances are about 12 metres apart!

Ruislip-Ruislip Manor

This with a 114 bus is possible to actually take the same time as a train as it runs non-stop between the two stations provided it is quick and the traffic lights are green at Ruislip Manor!

 

[Hornet]

Timed the 11:03 Portrush to Coleraine this morning between Portrush and Dhu Varren. Took 75 seconds from Start to Complete Stop.

 

[Cletus]

Just left Folkestone Central at 0800 and it was 0801 when we arrived at Folkestone West.

 

[causton]

Just left Folkestone Central at 0800 and it was 0801 when we arrived at Folkestone West.

Only because the train left 30 seconds early from Central

[Jamesrob637]

What about Victoria to Salford Central?

Edit: Not in the U.K. but how about Koeln Hbf to Koeln Messe/Deutz? Only over the Hohenzollernbrücke and you're at the other station!

 

[Dore & Totley]

Brondesbury to Brondesbury Park shows as 1 minute on the National Rail app

From Stratford to Richmond the longest gap appears to be a mere 5 minutes

 

[KingJ]

There are no tickets for the route, go to Plymouth quite often, if there's time I'll jump on a train & ask the guard for a ticket and see the reaction. Guess they would sell 2 singles to / from Plymouth

Amusingly if you put it in to a Journey Planner, the ticket it tries to sell you is a Ride Cornwall Day Ranger - £13.00 for a 23 minute journey that effectively takes you 10 meters measured station exit to station exit!

Would love to see a member of revenue staff would react to asking for this ticket.

There are two services in which you don't even have to change trains or cross platforms to complete the journey.
2G75 - the 17:45 Liskeard to Gunnislake
2C74 - the 17:29 Gunnislake to Liskeard
They pass each other just outside of Plymouth (assuming they are running to time)
Come to think of it, there must be quite a few who actually do the long route between Victoria Road and Ferry Road and vice versa, via Plymouth when they travel to/from the Gunnislake branch to/from Cornwall. In the past I have done so a few times.
No doubt, there are some who would do the journey just because you can. Rather like climbing Everest, because it's there I suppose.

 

[Right Away]

There are some Southampton Central to Portsmouth & Southsea stopping services timed to arrive at Hamble one minute after departing from Netley, although the 'departure to departure' time as per the original post is two minutes.

 

[tsr]

North Dulwich - East Dulwich can be done in as little as one minute. They really are close!

 

[Andrew Nelson]

Garforth and East Garforth?

No.
2 mins.

 

[Flyingsprinter]

Bidston to Upton is timmed as 1 minuet but surley must take a bit longer in practice?

 

[Panceltic]

Tŷ Glas and Birchgrove (in Cardiff).

 

[dj_mikey_k]

Widnes --->Hough Green
Down as 2 minutes

 

[Jamesrob637]

Possibly from the new Warrington West to Sankey for Penketh when W-West opens?

 

[172006]

Seven Sisters to Tottenham Hale

 

[matacaster]

Pontefract Monkhill to Tanshelf is 2 mins.

 

[Vinnym]

Walton to Orrell Park, on Merseyrail, timetabled as one minute, although the journey in reverse is timetabled 2 or 3 mins!!

 

[Islineclear3_1]

Rotherhithe to Wapping on LO's East London Line

 

[DennisM]

Kempton Park to Sunbury, but only the first 2 trains in the morning in that direction.

 

[chefchenko]

Barlaston to Wedgwood would surely have only been a minute , you can see both stations from one or the other

 

[Gathursty]

I'll assume Humphrey Park and Trafford Park as they are visible from each other at the platforms.

 

[Esker-pades]

I'll assume Humphrey Park and Trafford Park as they are visible from each other at the platforms.

Nope, timed as 2.

 

[A0]

NRE has Finsbury Park to Harringay and Harringay to Hornsey as 2 mins each - not sure if that's just NRE "rounding up" to the nearest minute though.

 

[oldman]

Not Britain, but there are three stations on the Naples Metropolitan line 2 which are about a minute apart on foot - Cavaleggeri Aosta, Campi Flegrei and P. Leopardi. Journey time is seven minutes!
