This release was originally published on 27 April 2017. It was withdrawn due to missing rail data in the public transport network which is used in the journey times model and has now been republished with minor revisions. The revisions affect a small number of journey times using the public transport and walk mode. In the majority of cases the quickest journey is made by walking or taking the bus, and therefore will be unaffected by changes to rail data.
