Title: The longest journey between two places of the same name ?? Post by: amiddl on February 12, 2010, 17:19:27 Today I had to look up time between Whitchurch (Hampshire) to Whitchurch (Cardiff) taking me 3hrs 23mins tomorrow morning. I wondered is this the longest journey that one can do between two places of the same name solely by rail. I thought of Newport (Essex) to Newport (Wales).
So the challenge the longest journey in the UK by rail between two places in the UK Title: Re: The longest journey between two places of the same name ?? Post by: Tim on February 12, 2010, 17:23:21 Charing Cross (Glasgow) to Charing Cross (London)
