Trivia: Journeys between stations that are quicker to walk

[Western 52]

Tyndrum Upper to Tyndrum Lower? Can't imagine there's any quick connection at Crianlarich!

Tyndrum Upper to Tyndrum Lower? Can't imagine there's any quick connection at Crianlarich!

Quickest change is 13 minutes (arr 10:08 dep 10:21). Won't beat walking between the two though.

Upper Tyndrum to Tyndrum Lower is walkable in around 20 minutes. Doubt that this would be possible in less than this time by train having to change at Crianlarich.

I concur. 31 minutes by rail.

Back to the original idea of routes with a direct service, Darlington to North Road can be quicker walking than waiting for the next train.

 

[adrock1976]

If not mentioned already, Coatbridge Central to Whifflet as the frequency of the trains are every 60 minutes.

Furthermore, it is definitely quicker to walk between the two on a Sunday, as Coatbridge Central has the good old fashioned "No Sunday Service".

The time from street to platform on the tube makes walking a serious option for many central London journeys. For example I would walk from Marylebone to Baker Street to catch the Circle or H&C but would take the quite short escalator down to the Bakerloo Line if I wanted the Jubilee from Baker Street.

Another perfect example is Leicester Square to Covent Garden, by the time you get down to the platforms you could be halfway there if you stayed & walked on street level, many tourists don't know that though.

Euston to Russell Square is quicker on the bus than the tube changing at Kings Cross

Liverpool Lime Street to Moorfields. Several escalators and a change of train as against less then ten minutes walk.

In that area, it must be quicker to walk from New Cross to New Cross Gate, from Catford to Catford Bridge, and from Bromley North to Bromley South than do the complete journey by train.

They are:

1. The New Crosses would involve taking the London Overground and changing at Surrey Quays.
2. The Catfords are across the road (a narrow cul-de-sac) from each other.
3. The Bromleys is quickest by bus. As the service between the two frequent.
