It was a Joke, as the poster said very fast. Its about 45-50mph. This train blows when it can, 125mph. On the bit near Heathrow going westbound when 27R and 27L is in use, you are almost beating the planes as they reduce to minimums at 4DME.
haha yah or large stations anyways i think .. in UK 130mph is the fastest trains are allowed to travel although can't think of any that ever go that fast !!
@01276 3 years on and we're up to 186mph on HS1 (yay!) Just a shame the rest of the network is mostly sub-100mph. I'm fortunate enough to live near the ECML so most of the trains I travel on can go at full tilt.
if you go there late at night ur bound to see couple of fast ECS through .. when i took this it was saturday night about 9ish but the whole of Reading station was drunk and singing as it was a football matchday .. quite inprssive to see the whole of platform 4 singing! lol
thanks, i remember when i was there it was a Sauurday arternoon and there were massive crowds outside the station and the police were there, also on the train everyone hat a football top on.
Ive done Reading middle road. A mid-morning Cheltenham used to be 1st stop swindon I think about round about 2000.

45mph fastest in UK? I hope to God you mean going through the station, they'll reach in excess of 125mph on the mainline (most notably ECML).
