Feel free to advise me if this has been asked before:
I remember booking tickets a couple years ago to travel from Liverpool to Peterborough where I was surprised to find the direct service (EMT Liverpool-Norwich) came in at over 4 hours whereas another option with a change at York or Leeds (can't remember which one) took only 3 hrs 30. also apparently according to a friend Reading - Newcastle is quicker via London than on the Cross Country train.
I'm now curious as to how many examples of this there are, and which has the biggest time discrepency? Thanks.
Edit: it's also just occurred to me that Newcastle - Middlesborough is quicker via Darlington than it is direct along the durham coast.. i think their may be many more examples in hindsight
