We worked these figures out from the published GTFS timetables listed below. For each date we count every train that stops at the first station and later at the second, in both directions, leaving between 04:00 and 04:00 the next morning, and take the fastest and the median journey time. On a date with no direct train we search for connections with one change on the same timetable, using its own minimum change times and allowing up to an hour's wait. We drop a connection whenever another one leaves later and still arrives sooner. The figures were computed on Sun 11 Oct 2026, and a timetable change can move them, so check the operator's planner before you travel.
