How long would it take to...?

Question

how long would it take on the train to get from manchester to canterbury?

Answer 1

i would estimate about 3 n half hours. You might even have to switch trains.

Have a look on http://nationalrail.co.uk/ and have a play around with the times and date. It will depend on what time you leave and the train you get.

Answer 2

Because you have to cross London by tube (from Euston to Victoria) this adds quite a bit to the journey time, as do gaps between the connecting trains (Manchester Piccadilly-Euston, Euston-Victoria, Victoria-Canterbury East).



The fastest connections I can find on http://www.thetrainline.com give a total journey time of around 4 hours 20 mins.
