With your F grade in geography, you probably also don't know that the northbound line from Marylebone passes over the line from Euston at South Hampstead. The former GCR line is headed almost directly due north, while the former LNWR line is headed south west on its meandering route to Birmingham. So the Euston route heads west first, while the Marylebone route heads north first. Yes, because I meant west immediately from the station obviously, not the fact that it heads off via ruislip which is barely a few miles north of marylebone albeit 15 miles west of it. I see you're back in plank mode. MYB-BMO: 111.56 miles.chains EUS-BHM: 112.73 miles.chains So the Marylebone routes is actually slightly shorter. And? It takes longer. They don't need to. Not everyone shares your extreme degree of ignorance, and many people prefer Marylebone and Moor Street to Euston and New Street, plus the Chiltern trains are cheaper, more spacious and much more comfortable. Not surprisingly, they're very popular. If you say so. Personally I can do without the sound of a large diesel engine under my seat for 2 hours but each to their own. |
