Any idea why some trains that are further out have a shorter travel time to the city than the next closest physical station?
Express trains. Certain lines skip many intervening stops to decrease travel time between major hubs.
Ah makes sense and I see that in the legend now.

Did you read the legend? It literally explains that exact case.
