Most stops

[bennorthyork]

I was just wondering which train journeys in the UK (without changing) have the most station stops?

 

[gordonthemoron]

Cross Country perhaps? Penzance-Dundee

 

[Mcr Warrior]

Cross Country perhaps? Penzance-Dundee

Tomorrow's 0820 service from Aberdeen to Penzance calls at 42 intermediate stations, as well as Aberdeen and Penzance.

 

[stut]

If we count London Underground, what about the (pre-Teacupping) Circle Line

The Heart of Wales Line boasts 32 stops from Swansea to Shrewsbury.

 

[Halsebee]

West Coastway in sussex?

 

[EM2]

There's a Bedford - Ashford Thameslink which has at least 29 stops on a journey of under three hours (I can't find the full pattern atm).

 

[SWT Driver]

0612 Waterloo - Weymouth calls at 42 stations and takes a staggering 3h57.

A journey that takes longer than Kings Cross - Newcastle or London - Paris or Brussels!

 

[jopsuk]

Is that Waterloo to Weymouth including or excluding the start and finish?

Might be illuminatiing to include total times and distances for hese too, to get a better comparison. The Aberdeen-Penzance takes 13 hrs and 27 minutes

 

[SWT Driver]

It's 44 if you include WAT & WEY.

[Greenback]

The 0724 ATW Pwllheli to Birmingham International has 35 intermediate stops, but some of those are requests!

 

[tony_mac]

There's a Carlisle to Preston service on the Cumbrian coast line with 33 intermediate stops - although quite a few are request stops.

(sorry, can't count!)

 

[jopsuk]

So we've got 44 in 3:57 or 44 in 13:27.

 

[ChrisTheRef]

Hunts Cross to Southport is 23 stops in 61 minutes

 

[90019]

Queen Street - Mallaig has 31 intermediate stops, in about 5¼ hours.

 

[class377man]

0612 Waterloo - Weymouth calls at 42 stations and takes a staggering 3h57.

You're correct of course, although that train is essentially three or four local routes joined together, indeed the 0630 overtakes it and arrives in Weymouth 29 minutes prior.

 

[krus_aragon]

The Heart of Wales Line boasts 32 stops from Swansea to Shrewsbury.

Or 41 intermediate stops on the 0809 Cardiff - Shrewsbury via Swansea!
