All Change from Anywhere

[Lee_Again]

I enjoyed reading the All change to London thread. Just changing it slightly, and let's assume the current M-F timetable, are there any two sations in the UK you can not travel between in one calendar day; therefore no sleepers.

Sorry - you can use the sleepers providing you board after 00.01.

To be clear (Sulzer25) - you can change as many times as required. Penzance to Wick is the obvious one but I think you can do that...?

 

[P156KWJ]

what's a sation? If you mean station, then I can think of many, only one for now:

Radcliffe to Huddersfield. Change at Nottingham, Chesterfield, Sheffield

 

[me123]

Wick and Penzance
Thurso and Penzance
Georgemas Jn. and Penzance

shall I go on?

Certainly can't do those in a day; you get into Inverness far too late in the day. I'd also imagine that there's a lot in the South East (eg. Oban to Dover).

I can just about work London Waterloo to London St. Pancras if I bend the rules a bit...

London Waterloo > Stafford Intl > Paris Gare du Nord > Paris Gare du l'Est > Köln Hbf > Bruxelles Midi > London St. Pancras

Theoretically doable in a day if ye cut the interchange times down to the bare minimum...But remember that the Paris RATP is impossible to navigate around, Köln Hbf is one mahoosive station, and the security line at Bruxelles has never been known for processing people quickly... hock:

Failing that: Ye try affording an SDR on Eurostar...And no Privs, that's just cheating! hock::razz:

21 hours hock: Rather you than me

 

[Mintona]

Denton - Anywhere on a week day.
Reddish South - Anywhere on a week day.

AICMFP.

 

[P156KWJ]

Denton to Reddish South any day would be fun

 

[Techniquest]

21 hours hock: Rather you than me

So tempting to one day do that on an all-liner just for the fun of it

Would probably normally be quicker except for the buses

 

[Spaceflower]

what about any station (except a handful in the Tyne valley) to Dunston.

 

[Techniquest]

Don't think you can do Wick to Whitby in a day.

 

[P156KWJ]

no, last train from Middlesbrough to Whitby leaves about 1730 ish, although there were additional summer services on fridays that left Middlesbrough about 2015 IIRC.

 

[Chester025]

You can do Penzance to Thurso in under 24 hours:

1336 Edinburgh - Inverness 1707 (FSR)

1752 Inverness - Thurso 2138 (FSR)

23hrs 28mins, I challenge you...

[Broken Viking]

Wick to Penzance is do-able in 24 hours!

Sod 24 hours! I'd be aiming to do it in 24 minutes in a 370 with a pre-cleared route, and a 50 or two between the power cars to provide traction power North of Glasgow...

If they want to find me, I'm currently sat at a rather inconvenient red signal just outside of Old Dalby...
