((HERP DERP got it wrong, that distance is the distance of Britain's entire coastline. My apologies, I'm an idiot. Idiocy resolved))
The coast of England is 5581 miles long. A good 19th century steam train can travel 70mph, which without stopping would take about 80 hours to travel rounded up. Or 3 full days and change.
