Hartford to Greenbank. They're both in Hartford and only a few minutes apart on foot, but to go via train would involve changing at Crewe and either Chester or Stockport.
It's 1.1 miles by foot so unless you're an athlete a few minutes is very fast! The 82 bus service is timetables to take 4 minutes between the Greenbank Hotel and Hartford station.* The quickest journey option I can see for rail between the two stations is 1 hr 27.
In the Hartford to Greenbank direction journey planners suggest:
Hartford to Liverpool South Parkway
Liverpool South Parkway to Warrington Central
Walk to Warrington Bank Quay !!!!!!!!:roll:
Warrington Bank Quay to Chester
Chester to Greenbank
It's also £13.40 single by train.
* I'd like to see the 15:46 bus do it in four minutes knowing what the school traffic is like around that area.

Another couple -
Gatley to Cheadle Hulme -2.5 miles walking or 56 minutes on the train.
Styal to Handforth - 1.2 miles walking or at least 30 minutes by train (plus a long wait for a train!)
