The 11 hours is the easy bit!
Thurso (far north of Scotland) to Penzance is 22 hours 48 minutes.

I assume that the questionner means 'what is the longest train journey that can be made without changing trains' That, I would guess, would be the Virgin Cross Country service VT3 Aberdeen-Penzance A full map of VT x country can be found at http://www.virgintrains.co.uk/travelling_with_us/o...
Much longer journeys can be made by changing trains and taking weird routes (after getting a 2nd mortgage to pay the fares, of course!)

wick to penzance is the longest but also depends on if the train stops at every stop or if its a fast service
bit of random information, there was once a train station in Norfolk called Thuxton...lol

The Caledonian Sleeper goes from Fort William at 6:30 pm and arrives at London Euston at 7:43 pm on Sundays. If you get a bargain berth you can travel on it for only £19 too!

Thurso to Penzance. Mind you, it can take just as long to get from London Bridge to Esher.
