[MJT] 1V60 08:20 Aberdeen - Penzance

You form the first leg of the 08:20 CrossCountry service from Aberdeen to Penzance. After more than 100 years of operation, 775 miles, 41 stops, and over 13 hours of travel - today marks the end of the UK’s longest direct train journey which is set to be axed as part of the May 2025 timetable changes coming into effect next week. In this scenario, you join 1V60 on this rather historic day just outside Ladybank where you are booked as far as Edinburgh.
