Default Fastest tube trains?

i think the central is fastest tube, also it may be the fastest line at
100kph (62mph) towards epping and ruislip

Which line do trains travel fastest and how fast do they go? Any
difference in sub surface and deep tube lines? Anybody got info on
what speed trains travel at on all lines?


Fastest surface: Metropolitan
Fastest tube line: Piccadilly on the Hammersmith - Acton run.
Speeds: Not sure there... anyone?


Can't find the info at present, but IIRC the A60/A62 stock on the Met is
allowed up to 60 mph. The speed limit on the Piccadilly is 45 mph, and I
thought some other tube lines were faster. (Jubilee 50 mph?)
