There’s been discourse online about the longest routes now that Aberdeen-Penzance has been scrapped. I’ve been conflicting reports suggesting that it’s Aberdeen-Plymouth successor remains the longest, whilst others claim it’s the Euston-Fort William My own research suggests the former is...

Local trains on the southernmost section of the WCML are still completely goosed. We are getting 1 slow train an hour at Leighton Buzzard which is already completely full by the time it gets here. WFH all week for me.

I am a 26-30 railcard holder who renewed my railcard for another year in early June. I am turning 29 in January. My understanding is that you remain eligible to purchase a 1 year 26-30 railcard right up until the day before your 31st birthday, meaning you can use it right through being 31 with...

The connection time is 24 minutes. My train is due to get into Edinburgh Waverley at 17.06 and then the LNER train leaves at 17.30 My question is basically if the ScotRail rail is heavily delayed or cancelled, will I be allowed to jump on the next London bound train despite the fact that my...

I’m planning to take the train from Edinburgh to London King’s Cross next month and bought an advance single ticket for the journey. In order to get to Edinburgh I need to take a local ScotRail train. I absent mindedly just bought a ticket from Edinburgh to London rather than buying a single...

Seems that something happened between Newark Northgate and Doncaster. The usual 21 minute journey between these took some 5 hours!!!

I have too, albeit with a weekend in Edinburgh in between

You misunderstand, I’m looking for which two London terminals are the furthest apart in terms of the most direct NR only route. Perhaps we could make this more interesting by excluding the overground.

Not sure why he didn’t just change at one of the suburban Glasgow stations with services to both Central and Queen Street (Partick?)

London Bridge to Victoria could be done through East Croydon, you don’t need to go all the way to Brighton. Charing Cross to Waterloo/Victoria could be done via changes at London Bridge, East Croydon and (in the case of Waterloo) Clapham Junction, no need to be going anywhere near Portsmouth.

Yes and yes. I’ll say fastest in terms of time as opposed to miles travelled.

Don’t care about tickets, just the fastest national rail only route between any two terminals

Suppose I wish to travel between two London terminals but I’m constrained by not being allowed to use the tube, buses, walk, use a taxi or any other form of transport other than national rail. For example, if travelling between Victoria and Waterloo, then the fastest acceptable route is to go...

Fair do’s. I do London to Falkirk return six times a year and it’s usually a 3/3 split of train or flight. I’ll take a flight if I’m only going for the weekend because STN is very accessible for me on a Friday night straight from the office and with it only being a couple of nights then hand...

Let’s count the errors in your post: 1. Leaving Falkirk at 10:30 for a flight that takes off at 12:10 is not a very good idea. As you say with google maps this gets you in to the airport just 73 minutes before the flight. Risky. 2. You’ve made the crude assumption of hand luggage only. If the...
