Frequent travellers along the East Coast Mainline could find themselves out of pocket more than any other rail travellers in the country, it has been revealed.

A new study has found that all five of the top five worst value-for-money journeys lay on the East Coast line, currently operated jointly by Stagecoach Group and Virgin Group. London to Newcastle was revealed as the worst value-for-money, followed by London to Edinburgh, London to Leeds, London to York and Leeds to London.

The research, carried out by Kwik Fit Insurance Services for the Press Association, found that a number of routes were actually slower than driving, with a 76-minute route from Birmingham to Norwich topping the list. Glasgow to Leeds (54 minutes) and Glasgow to York (44 minutes) came second and third respectively.

Worst value-for-money journeys

London – Newcastle £158.70

London – Edinburgh £149.77

London – Leeds £133.27

London – York £125.56

Leeds – London £121.44

Glasgow – Exeter £119.03

London – Sheffield £112.16

Glasgow – Bristol £106.00

Glasgow – Cardiff £102.76

Birmingham – Edinburgh £80.39
