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