Traveling by train is a great way to reach Plymouth, one of southwest England's most attractive destinations.

Why travel by train to Plymouth?

Trains run from London Paddington multiple times every day, allowing those who land at London Heathrow to easily transfer from Heathrow Express trains. With a journey time of around three hours 20 minutes in most cases, it won't take long to reach Plymouth. Moreover, sections of the route in Devon feature some of the most beautiful scenery to be found on any British railway journeys. It definitely beats cramming into short-haul flights to Newquay or coach services.
