Eh?
In depots, for LUL, I think the highest speed is 15mph.
In LUL tube lines, the Central Line does 80km/h(50mph) east of Liverpool Street.
SUb surface speed limit was 60mph, but reduced to 50mph because of A stock problems...
Most crossovers at LU can be crossed at line speed.

Eh, where did my signature go?
Where has my favourite LUL train gone? Maybe it was sent for bolt checking again...
