Despite some stations being very close together, few seem to have a 1 minute timetable (departure to departure). I was wondering if there was a complete list.

I have got so far:
Duke Street - Alexandra Parade
Culrain - Invershin
Rotherhithe - Canada Water
Wallasey Village - Wallasey Grove Road

There are some (such as Lewisham to St Johns) that could be done in 1 minute (departure to departure) but are timed for 2 and sometimes even 3.

Are there any others that people can think of?

Carnoustie - Golf Street in the Up direction only, timetabled for 4 minutes in the Down direction presumably as a PPM swizz.

Can't see it above, so I would suggest Lelant to Lelant Saltings on Cornwalls St Ives Branch Line.

I think there are a couple of trains that manage Summerston to Maryhill or possibly the opposite way in 1 minute.

City Thameslink and London Blackfriars are 1½ minutes apart. Does that count?! :D

Newcastle - Manors must be pretty close, though it’s timetabled as 2 minutes on journey planner. Three minutes in the other direction.

Anderston to Glasgow Central, appears to have 1 minute journey times on many of them.

Surely the metric should be departure time to doors being released (though I appreciate the only measure for that is a stopwatch 'in the field'), as that's the important bit if you're actually making the journey between the two.

Longbeck to Marske is timed for just one minute in the WTT for some services. Timed for two minutes in the GBTT
