Long distance a lot of trains run through Birmingham. If you pick a journey between two of the top 20 urban areas cities by most direct rail routes very few go though London.

There’s certainly a capacity issue though.

Take a look at say, Yeovil (Gifle for the historians) with its five stations from the past, of which two remain.

If you look closely at a particular flag stone on platform 2 at Pen Mill station it doesn't have "TylerE is a wanker" chiseled into it.

I can make a change.

This is all rather silly. We don't engage. Bloody kids.

What the hell is your problem?

"Basically everything runs to or from London."

No it doesn't.

Yeovil is still a junction with only two stations these days. It used to have four or five. Its also the confluence of the A30 and A37 roads.

I don't have a problem - you clearly are not from these parts. That's fine and you will be welcome.
