What is the longest train journey in the UK?

Question

I've heard it takes over 11 hours to get from Exeter to Scotland, can anyone beat that?

Answer 1

The 11 hours is the easy bit!

Thurso (far north of Scotland) to Penzance is 22 hours 48 minutes.

Answer 2

I've been round and round the Circle Line on acid. that took about seven million years.

Answer 3

wick to penzance is the longest but also depends on if the train stops at every stop or if its a fast service

bit of random information, there was once a train station in Norfolk called Thuxton...lol

Answer 4

The Caledonian Sleeper goes from Fort William at 6:30 pm and arrives at London Euston at 7:43 pm on Sundays.  If you get a bargain berth you can travel on it for only £19 too!

Bargain

Answer 5

from skegness to boston. im not joking.

Answer 6

Glasgow to Prestwick International when the train is full of Celtic supporters

Answer 7

it took me a day and a half to get from Dover to Sterling.  Darn British Rail.

Answer 8

I assume that the questionner means 'what is the longest train journey that can be made without changing trains' That, I would guess, would be the Virgin Cross Country service VT3 Aberdeen-Penzance A full map of VT x country can be found at http://www.virgintrains.co.uk/travelling...

Much longer journeys can be made by changing trains and taking weird routes (after getting a 2nd mortgage to pay the fares, of course!)

Answer 9

Thurso to Penzance.  Mind you, it can take just as long to get from London Bridge to Esher.

Answer 10

Presently, the longest train journey in the UK, in terms of mileage is the 08.30 Penzance - Dundee, which comes in at 701 miles, and takes 11 hours 48 minutes

Answer 11

Plymouth to Edinburg
