Is it me or are rail speeds getting slower nowadays? On my recent very enjoyable trip down to London [thanks once again gents'] the trains both ways seemed be slower than in the past. This is reflected in timetables too. When the 225's were introduced under BR the fastest Newcastle/London journey was 2 hrs 54 minutes and the same viccy/verki. Now the fastest is over 3 hours. Why?
