How do I compare two commuter towns?

Each station page lists every London terminal that town can reach, the journey time, whether the train is direct, and the operator — so two towns can be compared on identical measures.

Does RailReach cover every UK station?

RailReach covers the 345 stations that reach a London main line terminal within 90 minutes — every one has its own journey guide. Stations beyond that threshold are outside a practical daily commute and are not included.
