Longest Southern Train Service?

This is the 05:54 service from London Victoria to Southampton Central. Takes 2 hours and 58 mins to get to Southampton Central from Victoria, so it might also be the longest journey you can make on a Southern Train. Mind you this service only operates on Mondays to Fridays. 33 stations it serves. My goodness.

There used to be a 16:33 from East Croydon (starting from Vic) that went to Eastbourne, Littlehampton and Bournemouth! Was always fun to distract my colleague when he was announcing that one live...

How come it didn't stop at Fishbourne, Bosham or Nutbourne but it DID call at Warblington?

[thedumgamer]

The Southampton Central and Portsmouth Harbour trains have a longer announcement because of both the sections

When I saw the thumbnail and title I guessed the train was bound for Bognor Regis and Southampton Central splitting at Horsham

The longest UK route is Aberdeen - Penzance but it’s not the most with stations.

[dylankelleher]

0:45 for “The Next Station Is East Croydon.”

[lefthandedspanner]

the service between Blackpool South and Colne used to have 25 stops, pretty impressive considering the route is only 50 miles long and lies entirely within one county (Lancashire):

Blackpool South, Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Squires Gate, St. Annes-on-the-Sea, Ansdell and Fairhaven, Lytham, Moss Side, Kirkham and Wesham, Salwick, Preston, Lostock Hall, Bamber Bridge, Pleasington, Cherry Tree, Mill Hill, Blackburn, Rishton, Church and Oswaldtwistle, Accrington, Huncoat, Hapton, Rose Grove, Burnley Barracks, Burnley Central, Brierfield, Nelson and Colne

I really don't envy any of the conductors who had to read out that lot at every station
(it's now two separate services, both of which terminate at Preston)

[pgatplaysminecraft]

To add insult to injury, the train called at *faygate* as well

[shooudusuhe]

Oh that’s the early morning stopping service.

[ilovelolsurprise]

If I was there, I would be like “Calling at what 😅???”

[TheNewHarryYardley]

Brighton to Cambridge service has 21 stops.

[bowlerstuff]

Its slower to do London-Southampton on Southern as it takes LNWR to do London-Crewe

[TheNewHarryYardley]

Have you seen the Horsham to Peterborough.

[khalilqambar]

Short platform via fishbourne bosham nutbourne southbourne emsworth and warblington

[Simblz_yt]

the peterborough service from horsham is diabolical

[WillDoesTransport]

Oviedo/Uviéu to Ferrol in Northern Spain can have up to 100 stops on a roughly 7 hour journey
