Has to be a direct connection, not 2 close but unconnected stations which would require a 50-mile detour!
The 0823 from Ardwick to Piccadilly Manchester takes a scheduled 7 mins. The distance is a smidgeon over 0.5 miles! That's appx 4mph...
The reason must be either the amount of time getting to a platform or the added-on-time to make sure it arrives "on time" I assume, although the 0734 is scheduled to be a hyper-speed 5 minutes. It's, er, 3 minutes Piccadilly - Ardwick!!
Can't be a British record, surely....
