And what about trains running fast on the Metropolitan Line? I heard that
the A62s could do close to 70 miles before they started to discover cracks
in the bogies.

Many years ago when I was just starting with LT I had a run out to
Amersham. On the way back I got a cab ride and certainly saw 70 mph on
the speedometer. It was a bit "shake, rattle and roll" as well but great
fun.
