In London. The south doesn't have much in the way of tube trains.
Also, TFL has taken over some of the regular lines and re-branded them The Overground.
These run regular trains.
I've often commuted a couple of stops from London Bridge to Charing Cross, it's short enough that on the way back from work I would often walk or use a Boris bike.
I preferred that route to taking the Underground as it's just nicer travelling above ground, I can't say that it made a difference to the travel time.
These are regular trains at the end of longer routes to the South.
- melling 9y agoThe trip is less than 2 miles and takes 18 minutes? https://www.londondrum.com/transport/train-journey.php?from=london-bridge&to=charing-cross https://www.londondrum.com/transport/train-journey.php?from=... It’s hard to compare but the maglev seems to operate much quicker: http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2017-06/15/content_29751447.htm http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2017-06/15/content_297514... “The maglev line will have eight stations stretching over 10.2 kilometers and will run at a maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour. The whole journey will take about 20 minutes, including the time for passengers to get on and off”
