How far can you go by train from London in 1-12h?

  1. This severely underestimates how late German trains are.

  2. london to oxford is 53 min but the website says its 1hr 45

  3. Cardiff and Manchester are both 2 hours, this is showing them as 3+

  4. If this factored in my budget there’d just be a green dot sat in London. Indefinitely

  5. Would like to see a colour coding of the costs involved. I bet going up/west is way more costly than going east/down

  6. North Wales is around 2/2.5 hours but shows up as 5 hours on this.

  7. Cool website. But as far as I can tell, all the journey times are wrong.

  8. This definitely isn’t accurate but it’s a fun visualisation

  9. No way does this factor in average delays from cancellations and late trains. I get Thameslink daily, it’s a nightmare.

  10. Very nice graphic, but I’m surprised that you can’t travel to Slovenia and Croatia in 12 hours.

  11. It’s hard to not be jealous of China’s high speed rail network. Bejing to Shanghai is a bit over 4 hours, London to Berlin is more than double that – over a smaller distance too! We need more cross-border rail collaboration within Europe.

    I wish I could take the train more, especially the Eurostar which is such a nice experience but just so expensive most of the time. It’s hard to justify travelling by train when the flight options are just so much better.

  12. Bristol is under 1hr30 from paddington but doesn’t show up until 3hrs. Not a very accurate map. Looks cool though.

  13. This is really inaccurate, it’s overestimating travel time massively. It’s 2 hours to paris, not 3. It’s 2 hours to Leeds, not 3. Its under an hour to Peterborough, not 2.

    Where is the underlying data from?

  14. To get to Canterbury from London it’s about 50min so that’s definitely not accurate.

  15. If you’re lucky and get connections – or, unless you dont count the time waiting on ‘the next train’

    I’ve researched going to Poland by train – my wife’s family live in Poland, just a short marching distance over the border from Germany. You can’t do it in 12 hours

  16. You can get to Birmingham in less than 2 hours.

  17. clearly not very accurate as you can certainly get to newcastle and carlisle in less than 4h… and this seems to think it’s 6ho to edinbugh. As if you can get to strasbourg faster than Edinburgh
