When did anyone see anything doing 183mph except on a race track?

I seem to remember 2mph is the average for Watford High Street - in good
weather with
a following wind and avoiding the speed cameras.

As for Eurostar - 183Mph is only possible once it's left the third world -
IE Britain. Our antiquated
track, staff and signalling equipment just isn't upto it.

Does anyone remember 120mph trains? 12mph trains are more realistic

Eurostar to Lille, then TGV direct to Avignon, and Montpelier or
Marseilles. 183mph almost all the way.

How come when a train does 183 mph, everyone's all like "woohoo, this is
the best thing ever, trains rule"... but when a car does 183 mph,
everyone's all like "what an irresponsible, dangerous thing to do, why
won't you think of the children?!?!?!?"



Possibly because the train is not doing 183mph down Watford High Street...
