“The new Waterloo-Exeter times of the S.R. flyer are 2hr 58min down and 1min more up, in less than 3hr, that is to say⟳, in both directions, with the help⟳ of four runs timed at over a mile a minute.”

“Transport⟳ Scotland now taks about a 'mile a minute' target⟳ for ScotRail inter-city services by 2030. At first glance⟳, this sounds pretty impressive, but we've seen that Glasgow-Edinburgh electric services can easily beat⟳ this. What of longer journeys? It's 180 miles from Glasgow Queen Street to Inverness, which at a mile a minute translates into a 180-minute (or three-hour) journey.”
