Progressing at an average of 196 km/h
Hi 2A01:4B00:881D:3700:A6C0:79D1:4553:8634,
Firstly please make an account and add some info about yourself before accusing others of being paid astroturfers. I have some info about me on my userpage.
Second, although I still think your edit is pointless (no transport travels as the crow flies) thanks for clarifying it. NemesisAT (talk) 10:54, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- For the record, the travel time from Curzon Street to Euston is iconsistent in the latest business case. The text states:
- "For example, in Phase One the journey time from London to Birmingham will be reduced from 82to 49 minutes. Under the current scope for Phase 2b, the journey time from London to Manchester would be reduced from 127 to 67 minutes, while travelling from Birmingham to Leeds would take just 49 minutes compared to 118 minutes today. Figure 1.10shows the reductions in journey times that HS2 would deliver between Birmingham and a range of key destinations."
- but the map on the following page says the journey will take 45. NemesisAT (talk) 10:59, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- I'm wary of falling foul to the three revert rule, so I'll propose an edit. The line speed is a maximum of 360 km/h and maximum service speed of 330 km/h. That's stated in the latest business case, which is more recent than the BBC News article the anonymous editor cites and thus these are the speeds I think we should go with.NemesisAT (talk) 11:05, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- The BBC News article is also wrong in that it states 14 tph in each direction when in actual fact the line is designed to run 18 and it is planned to run 17 tph in service. NemesisAT (talk) 11:07, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
