I'm thinking that I have met one of the longer trips to the local space station - on one of the CD-51's, 255,000 ls from arrival point in system to only station. Saw a lot of traffic at the station though, so I am probably not alone. Thats a loooong way to travel. Took about 15mins, my hauler peaked at 700c - which I was impressed with.
Longest trip to station?

There are some out there at a distance of 500,000ls
I took a mission to deliver cargo to Alpha Centari - Hutton Orbital I believe. It was 0.22LY from the entry point star! At full Super Cruise it was telling me it would be over 2 hours realtime travel. SC increased slowly to 1800c!!! and it was still gonna be 40min realtime to get there!!!! OMG! Needless to say I never got there. I had to go to bed.

Thats not very far, last night I was heading to Ehrlich Orbital in LFT 1421 the station is 773000ls from the nav point. My Hauler topped at 1100c before it started throttling back down. That's not the furthest either, I've heard Hutton Orbital in Alpha Centauri is the furthest at 6,942,523ls out from the nav point.
There are plenty further than the one you mentioned, this table is taken from elitetradingtool.co.uk and these are only examples of stations with rare commodities.

I had not considered it before. Maybe we are really small, and the universe is BIG, really BIG
The Universe is not to be confused with a single Galaxy, as the universe is immeasurable though it could be finite or infinite. It could continue on forever and continue to continue on until the stars are so far apart that light from points will never reach another observable position and the space between will cool to a point where it can no longer support the stars them selves and it will freeze everything out. Then again it could come to a screeching halt and just remain there forever until the last red dwarf burns its last breath in a truly unremarkable event as it just goes dim like someone just flicked a switch but no one not a single thing will be around to see it, or lastly it will all stop and start collapsing back in upon its self from the big bang to the big crunch to the big bang again over and over again round and round we go.
It annoys me greatly when you start to talk to people about space and the word "Universe" gets used and they will respond with the MilkyWay ... and you have to explain that the universe is much bigger then perhaps they are considering, the "Milkyway" as we so aptly have named it because we as a race must name everything to define it so we feel as if we have some kind of power over it is much bigger then a single galaxy like Andromeda that one day many millions of years into the future will spiral beautifully into the milkyway way in a billion year long event these to galaxies will merge but it will not be noticed or felt by any inhabitants of either.
