What are the speeds on some parts of the Central Line's outer extremes?
It certainly felt faster than 35 or 40 miles.

85 km/h, down from 100 km/h since Chancery Lane bogie incident.

Those are the speeds in ATO, apparently rumours suggest can be exceed
in CM.

1992 stock is being rebogied ... methinks they must be a very long way
into that project now ... the original Kawasaki bogies are replaced by
new Siemens bogies ... I have no idea either way if 100 km/h will be
reinstated or not.

Don't forget though stock speed is academic as Central Line ATO uses a
speed control system where maximum safe speed for present section and
target speed for next section are commanded from trackside to train.
