Britain's longest train journey
At the start of the winter 2008/2009 timetable, the longest single train journey in Britain is the Monday - Friday 08:20 Aberdeen to Penzance CrossCountry Trains service. It takes thirteen and a half hours (arriving at 21:50) making thirty-three intermediate stops and covering 1162km (722 miles). An 'Anytime' (walk-up) fare for the end-to-end journey costs £185 in standard class or £369.50 in first class. It is operated by either a four or five coach Class 220/Class 221 "Voyager", and is prone to overcrowding.
