Does anyone know if its possible/likely to catch the 7:26 from Coventry to Leamington (suggests platform 2) if arriving arriving at 7:25 (suggests platform 3) on the 6:16 from Euston? Any advice much appreciated.

That's an exceptionally tight unofficial connection, despite it being a change of trains across the same island platform. Minimum connection time at Coventry is five minutes. Today, you might just have made it. The Avanti train from London Euston for Edinburgh Waverley arrived Coventry (platform 3) at 0724. The XC train from Manchester Piccadilly for Leamington Spa then Bournemouth, in due course, arrived Coventry (platform 2) at 0730 and departed 0733.

However, good chance on most days you'd probably have to wait for the 0800 West Midlands Train to get over to Leamington Spa.

Thanks very much. I think I'll drive a bit further along the A12 to Shenfield which will give time to catch the 6:04 Marlyebone to Leamington instead of above 6:16 from Euston. Speaking of which, does anyone know the fastest route from Shenfield to Marylebone please? Wondering if Stratford to Paddington then Bakerloo to Marylebone now beats Liverpool Street to Baker Street (& walk)...

It's a very long walk from Elizabeth line to Bakerloo at Paddington

If you are at front of a westbound Elizabeth line train, possibly quicker to change at Bond Street to Jubilee line to Baker Street then use cross platform to Bakerloo to Marylebone

Is Paddington Elizabeth Line platforms to Circle / District / Hammersmith & City platforms, train to Edgware Road sub-surface station then walking to Marylebone quicker than getting down to the Bakerloo Line at Paddington then up again at Marylebone?

There are two sub-surface Underground stations at Paddington, neither are close to the Elizabeth Line platforms and the Praed Street one has trains that only go as far as Edgware Road. In any event Baker Street is nearer to Marylebone than Edgware Road.

timed Elizabeth to Bakerloo at 3 minutes.
