Train Travel in 1930s Britain, GWR and Southern

I have a character living between 1925 - 1935 who needs to travel from Worcester to Dover by train.

Can anyone give me details of how long this would take? I assume the journey would have to go via London. How many changes would they have to make?

Was there a train that went from Worcester to London direct? Was there a train from London to Dover direct (I assume so)? How many trains a day between these destinations?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
