London's Central Line is about that length, so it's doable. But you know that the urban/suburban (or next city) divide is not 50 miles out in any directionCounting the length of branches distorts the length of a trip from one end to another. And who'd ride from Epping to West Ruislip on that line anyway, at your typical 20.6 mph average speed? (Bad enough the closure of the line to Ongar.) connecting cities to one another isn't commuter rail No, that's exactly what it is. The busiest commuter lines connect cities with cities, the least busy to towns with populations in the four-figure range. |
