Hey,
I'm not a train enthusiast, as many people here certainly appear to be (and seemingly fairly knowledgeable too), however I am interested in being able to get to places...quick
Northern recently announced that they'll be placing 100Mph trains on it's lines in 2019, and I was wondering a) how fast our trains are now (Google searches appear to be about high speed trains a lot more than any thing else) b) I imagine 100Mph, is the max speed, and not the average speed when going from station to station? So it's probably more useful for say...Leeds to Manchester, than Leeds to Skipton?
If they do put it on the Leeds to Skipton line, would people notice any real differences? Though I imagine they will for Leeds to Manchester?
THanks in advance.
