The piccadilly trains seem to run very slowly into the northbound
platform at Kings X and its been like that for years. Anyone know
the reason?


There's a twenty mile an hour speed restriction over two set of
pointwork on the approach. The first set is the crossover to the
west/south bound and the second is a connection to the Northern
Line. The latter comes out on the City branch just south of Euston.


Has the speed limit been increased? It used to be 10 mph there.
