About train journey duration calculator
Find how long a train journey takes from the departure and arrival times, including trips that run overnight or across several days.
Method
Duration = arrival time − departure time, adding 24 hours for each day boundary crossed. Departing 22:30 and arriving 07:15 two days later is 32 hours 45 minutes.
Delays
Trains often run late. For live running status, check the railway's official sources.
A worked example
A train leaves at 21:40 and arrives at 07:25 the next day. It crosses midnight, so the journey lasts 9 hours 45 minutes. A train that leaves at 22:00 and arrives at 06:00 two days later takes 32 hours.
Tips
- Add the day count when the arrival is not on the same date.
- Check the schedule for halts, since a long halt is included in the duration.
- For live status, use the railway's official sources, because delays are common.
