Leeds to Nottingham has to be a contender. 2 hours, which is nearly double the journey time by car.

When you consider that Leeds to Derby is 1h 15m, has better rolling stock (debateable to some), First Class seating, and refreshments available, it's often better to travel this way to Nottingham. As a frequent traveller between the two, I often do unless it's a Northern freebie or £10 offer.

OK, I get on in Wakefield, but I find that distance on Northern's 158 seats gives me a numb backside.

The 0546 from Southampton Central to London Bridge is a 1xxx and takes bloody ages!
