Note: apologies if a similar thread already exists.
I was just thinking about the twisty nature of the West Coast Mainline, especially through the Lakes and Scotland which cling to the side of the valley. This gave me a thought - what is the longest stretch of track that doesn’t have a tunnel through a natural physical feature (going under buildings don’t count).
I can’t think of a single tunnel between Warrington and Glasgow Central (220 miles).
