Today I had to look up time between Whitchurch (Hampshire) to Whitchurch (Cardiff) taking me 3hrs 23mins tomorrow morning. I wondered is this the longest journey that one can do between two places of the same name solely by rail. I thought of Newport (Essex) to Newport (Wales).
So the challenge the longest journey in the UK▸ by rail between two places in the UK

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
