Let's see, how fast do your trains go? Assume around 90, so about 100 miles....
More like 5mph, with the current speed restrictions.
heck, that's hardly worth *mentioning*. I know a girl in Colorado who drives 70 miles every week or so just to reach the nearest movie theater. ;-)
Yeah, but chances are, those 70 miles of road are probably a damn sight safer than the British rail system in recent years.
