What got me was the fact it could hit 100mph in 1923. Alongside an inter city train at Kings X that does a similar speed.
Apologies for being picky, but the class 91 in question has a service speed of 125mph, although it was designed for 140mph; It is restricted due to infrastructure constraints. During testing, a speed in excess of 160mph was achieved.
Although the old girl was quick in her day, it's a bit like putting Jacko against Dennis In the last minute

Branson is flying him to Atlanta to look at their rail network. Great PR for Virgin.
