[trivia] Services where it's possible to alight then walk/run/cycle between stations and re-board the same train?

[adc82140]

I've just rewatched that YouTube video where someone outran the tube between two stations.

It got me thinking- is there anywhere on the NR network where you can leave a service and then reasonably join the same one further along the same journey? Either by walking, running, or cycling.

Prior to the service split last year, I reckon you could have left a Guildford to Ascot service at Ash and cycled to Ash Vale before the same train got there, because of the time taken for reversal at Aldershot.

Any offers?

We recently had a thread on this.

Trivia: Journeys between stations that are quicker to walk

This will obviously be fewer than the cycling thread, but the one that springs to mind is Liverpool Lime St to Liverpool Central, where unless you use the lifts at both ends you will walk further through tunnels to change platforms than you will if you just walk between the two at street level...

How about across the Platform at Wandsworth Town, (Hounslow roundabout service?)

Journeys between stations that are quicker to cycle

With cycling becoming ever more popular, I am wondering how many pairs of stations there are in the UK which are quicker for an average person to cycle between over getting the fastest train. For the purposes of this thread, only stations that people would consider making a legitimate journey...

It's quicker to cycle between Manchester Piccadilly and Victoria.

Maybe also between Manchester Oxford and Victoria if you're quick enough!

The 0635h from Nottingham to Liverpool calls at Dronfield at 0714h and then at Dore and Totley at 0739h, 25 minutes later, having gone all the way into Sheffield and back out again. Google says you can cycle the 4 miles between the two stations in 24 minutes.

Liskeard to Coombe Junction Halt is a contender, though the other way is less likely on account of the hill!

Any service on the Liverpool Loop?
