Henley-On-Thames to Marlow?
7.2 Miles
Kyle of Lochalsh to Mallaig?
27.4 Miles. (some of which on a ferry obviously).
Try and beat Hayes & Harlington to Kensington Olympia, valid on map CS (and others).
Likewise a similar easement for , London-Henley/Marlow to return following a walk along the Thames path.
We know from question 9 and answer 9 in this correspondence that ATOC say "there is nothing to prevent a customer using a route that involves a walk between stations (one is not breaking the "no doubling back" rule by doing this)."Please forgive my ignorance, but what is it that makes this walk valid?
Unfortunately this particular Easement does not appear in the National Routeing Guide. It used to appear in the National Fares Manual, which was available to purchase until 2008. When the paper Manual was replaced by a fares CD, local easements may have fallen out of the public domain. The wording of the Easement, which is still in effect, isSearching for "Marlow" in the easements section of the routing guide I only find "300358 Customer travelling to stations on the Marlow and Henley on Thames lines via Didcot Parkway may travel via Reading. This easement applies in both directions."
I agree that it's not a lot of use if it's secret.'Thames Path' easement of CDR route validity:
Twyford Henley-on-Thames
Maidenhead Marlow
Slough Windsor & Eton Central
CDR tickets issued to stations on the above First Great Western branch lines are valid to return from stations on the other branches, provided that the ticket is issued to the furthest point. This is to enable customers to walk the Thames Path (this easement is therefore sometimes referred to as the 'Thames Path Ticket').

185 - I am guessing it doesn't count, because, although I am not sure I understand the question being asked, I think the OP is asking what the longest walk is between stations that journey planners will actually require a passenger to walk?
If we can establish what the OP has in mind, we can probably figure out which is the longest.
In that case, Mallaig-Kyle of Lochalsh can be discounted, as there are no tickets that I can find that would require such a walk.I'm interested in what the journey planner will come up in terms of walking, I'm less interested in what people have walked through choice.
Also, if the journey planner suggests an alternative such as LU/bus/metro, presumably that is also discounted.

Glasgow-[stn]KYL[/stn] return.
