And of course we already have trains running at 186mph

and of course, thinking about it, don't HS1 trains do 140mph? Although when I travelled from St Pancras to Gravesend on it, I found the speed slightly uncomfortable.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Think the 395s on HS1 do 140 (top speed) and E* is at 186mph - but either way HS1 is relatively self contained and is designed specifically for high speed travel, unlike the ECML/WCML.

It appears that Mr Branson wants his new trains for the ECML to run at 140mph eventually!!
