This is rubbish. Britain is much smaller in area but is slightly
longer from end to end, which is what matters for discussing
viability of rail lines. It also has its capital at one end, unlike
Spain. No French journey from Paris or Spanish journey from Madrid is
as long as London to Aberdeen.

Have you tried Paris to Ajaccio. That would take longer.

There is always Paris to Réunion if you want an even longer journey. :-)
