Shortest distance on each type of stock

[northwichcat]

The opposite of the longest distance thread - rolling stock that's still in use only. I think this one's a bit harder to do though.

Mine would probably be:
91/mk4- Kings Cross to Wakefield Westgate
142- Deansgate to Manchester Oxford Rd
144- Adwick to Doncaster
150- Manchester Piccadilly to Deansgate
156- Knutsford to Altrincham
158- Stockport to Warrington Central
170- Manchester Piccadilly to Huddersfield
175- Newton-le-Willows to Manchester Piccadilly
180- Hazel Grove to Stockport
185- Manchester Oxford Rd to Manchester Picc (yes it was after alighting the stopper that terminates at Oxford Rd)
220/1- Sheffield to Newcastle
323- Manchester Piccadilly to Deansgate
350- Hartford to Winsford
373- St Pancras to Gare Du Nord
390- Euston to Crewe
465- London Bridge to Greenwich
507- Hooton to Chester (would have been Birkenhead to Chester had there not been an emergency timetable.)
508- Freshfield to Liverpool Central.

[christopher]

Are these between 2 stations or 2 terminals?

If terminals then;

315 - Liverpool Street - Gieda Park
321 - Romford - Upminster
D stock - Olympia - Kensington High Street

 

[Peter Mugridge]

As a haulage chaser I have done one stop hops on virtually everything, s in just about every case I will have done the shortest distances served by each type.



But I would note that class 139 is unique in that it will appear in both this thread and the other thread for everyone who has been on it.

 

[rail-britain]

91/mk4- Kings Cross to Wakefield Westgate
156- Knutsford to Altrincham
158- Stockport to Warrington Central
170- Manchester Piccadilly to Huddersfield
220/1- Sheffield to Newcastle
390- Euston to Crewe

Class 91 used operate a few Kings Cross - Peterborough services
Shortest is probably 06:25 Newcastle - Edinburgh
156 : Glasgow QS - Anniesland
158 : Glasgow QS - Anniesland
170 : Glasgow QS - Cumbernauld
220/221 : Glasgow Central - Edinburgh
390 : Euston - Wolverhampton (surely that is shorter than Crewe)

 

[Geezertronic]

My list will be small in comparison and pretty boring but here goes:

319 - St Pancras to St Albans
323 - Five Ways to Bournville
350 - Stechford to Birmingham New Street
377 - St Pancras to St Albans
390 - Birmingham International to London Euston

 

[chris89]

Class 150: Westbury - Bruton
Class 158: Edinburgh Waverly - Bathgate
Class 170: Wolverhampton - Birmingham New Street
Class 221: Birmingham New Street - Wolverhampton

Class 318: Same as mine in long distance ( Glasgow Central - Exhibtion Centre)
Class 323: Smethwick Galton Bridge - Birmingham New Street
Class 350: Smethwick Galton Bridge - Birmingham New Street
Class 390: Wolverhampton - Birmingham International

91/mk4 Wakefield Westgate to Leeds

142 Longbeck to Saltburn
144 Burley Park to Leeds
150 Leeds to Burley Park
158 Cottingham to Hull
220 Wakefield Westgate to Leeds

Those are the ones I can remember and are actually short enough to warrant mentioning.

 

[Oswyntail]

.....
class 333: Leeds - Ilkey.........

I would guess at Frizinghall to Shipley, or Ilkley to Ben Rhydding for this one

Class 91 used operate a few Kings Cross - Peterborough services.....
170 : Glasgow QS - Cumbernauld
...

Can you get a 91 from Motherwell to Central?
And i would guess a 170 Waverley to Haymarket might be shorter.

 

[rail-britain]

Can you get a 91 from Motherwell to Central?
And i would guess a 170 Waverley to Haymarket might be shorter.

I am not aware af any such services, but you can make these journeys
The shortest with a class 91 I can find is Newcastle to Glasgow
Almost all services from Edinburgh to Haymarket continue to the west

 

[Lampshade]

I have missed out some classes that I mentioned in the other thread, this is because for those types the longest journey is the shortest (i.e. only travelled on them once).

142: Manchester Victoria - Salford Crescent (then bailed and waited for a TPE)
144: Moston - Manchester Victoria
150: Manchester Oxford Road - Salford Crescent
156: Preston - Lostock Hall
158: Stockport - Manchester Oxford Road
175: Manchester Oxford Road - Manchester Piccadilly
180: Manchester Oxford Road - Manchester Piccadilly
185: Manchester Oxford Road - Manchester Piccadilly
221: Manchester Piccadilly - Stockport
323: Mauldeth Road - Manchester Piccadilly
390: Manchester Piccadilly - Stockport
450: Staines - Ashford
455: Staines - Egham
458: Staines - Egham

 

[CarterUSM]

Can you get a 91 from Motherwell to Central?

Indeed you can, the 1500 and 1800 ex Kings Cross both call at Motherwell. Unsure to whether they are set down only though. Same in the reverse direction too, done it loads of times.

 

[Flying Snail]

At a little over 1 mile (1.19 on the Quail map) I would reckon Waverley-Haymarket is the shortest scheduled segment for 91+Mk4, HST, 220, 221, 390 and a valid journey at that.

There are probably some commuter belt stations closer together on the Scotrail network that would beat it for most if not all of their DMU classes though.

 

[Ivo]

This is going to have to be guess work for the most part. Which is bad. Hopefully it will all be correct, but the list is a... bit long.

Where more than one type of unit was involved, I have included both but have noted accordingly and provided an alternative answer. Also, only stock that is currently in passenger use is included (otherwise I would be uncertain with certain SWT EMU slammers!).

And in case you hadn't noticed, I have just copied the above paragraphs from my "Longest" post. Asterisks (*) indicate an identical answer.

Between Worcester Foregate St & Shrub Hill, various DMU & HST

 

[Ivo]

I've done Covent Garden to Leicester Square (on the Piccadilly Line), LUL's shortest interval and the world's most expensive section before!

 

[generalvegitable]

no, I did this knowingly

when I was young, I really hated loud noises so I was not too keen on the deep level tube lines, I found the lines with the newer stock more acceptable, I was just using the northern line to avoid the bakerloo line for a short stretch, I got some really funny looks from the natives when I got off the train.
