- pjc50 2y agoBit of a distance to go for a pint in the evening. Isn't JLR in Solihull? That's two hours from London.
- louthy 2y ago> Isn't JLR in Solihull? That's two hours from London. Not 100% sure, I'm from the middle of nowhere, sorry, Derby - where Rolls Royce is primarily based. I know there's peak-time, non-stop, trains between London/Derby that take about an hour. I know this because when I got my first job in London, I still hadn't found a place to stay, so I was commuting from Derby to London every day. And when I finally moved to London it took me almost as long to get to work even though I was living in the city! I just assumed with JLR being around Birmingham that travel to/from London would be about the same (because Birmingham is very close to Derby). EDIT: Just checked with trainline.com, there's several morning trains from London Euston to Birmingham (New Street) that take 1hr 17mins.
- Symbiote 2y agoIt's 89 minutes minimum from Derby to London. The fastest trains stop once, in Leicester. It's also £135 off-peak return, so a night out in Birmingham might be more appealing.
