I've read that some of the Silverlink Metro trains are going to be used
to run Silverlink Country services. Are the metro trains fast enough?

70-75mph probably suffices on the rather quiet slows (313s do the
former, 150s the latter but with inferior acceleration). After all,
there aren't many trains on there which could get in the way with a
half-hourly all-stations stopper...

And are there any other things which might cause problems?

Lack of capacity, hard seats and no bogs (in the 313s), but
something's better than nothing - and I'm quite pleased to see some
initiative is being used rather than just giving up and going home...
