Race To The North
390125 raced north from Beattock Summit with 1S45, the 08:30 Euston - Glasgow, on 6 March 2024.The ECML has long had the edge over the WCML when it comes to speed, hardly surprising when you consider that it's shorter, straighter, and flatter with fewer complex junctions. The West Coast route isn't far behind though, as evidenced by 1S45 having taken only 3 hours 49 minutes to cover the 350 miles from London to this location at an average speed of 91mph, inclusive of 6 stops.
