So, how fast does the Tube go? Fast enough to get you where you’re going, but slow enough to finish your coffee. It’s not a roller coaster. It’s a commute.
Next time you’re rattling along at 21 mph, just remember: you’re moving faster than the guy stuck on the M25. And that’s a small, petty victory we can all enjoy.
Just don’t expect a land speed record. Unless you’re on the Metropolitan line, in Zone 9, at 3 AM. Then, live your best life. Go, you speedy little metal worm.
