Its not more than now.1hr 10 stafford to london last week
The Train Line says -
The average journey time between London Euston and Stafford is 1 hour 47 minutes. The fastest journey time is 47 minutes. On an average weekday, there are 45 trains per day travelling from London Euston to Stafford. The journey time may be longer on weekends and holidays.
47 minutes! Why bother with HS2?
A flick through tomorrow's trains found 1 hour 17 minutes as the shortest claimed journey time.
I think Stafford <-> Euston is 122 miles on the current rails.
If so, then...
1hour 47 minutes = 68mph average.
1 hour 17 minutes = 95 mph average.
1 hour 10 minutes = 105mph average.
47 minutes = 156mph, which seems rather implausible to me.
Presumably that should be 77 minutes, not 47..?
