Barcelona to Madrid is only a little over 300 miles; a 3½ hour journey between the two would therefore average just 89 m.p.h.

2 and a half hours it would be take - must have misheard

'''When completed, the Madrid-Barcelona line should be one of the world's fastest long-distance trains in commercial operation, with trains billed to reach a top speed of 320 km/h and covering the 600 km (373 miles) between the two cities in 2.5 hours. It previously took almost six hours.''

Let's not knock the services that we already have - particularly when they are already better then the ones that you are comparing them with.

Do you work for MML by any chance, or are you just a train anorak?

I currently commute from Leicester to London every day and think the service is quite good. They could run the trains faster as my train is often five minutes ahead of schedule into London after stopping at Luton, but that would mean their stats might go down.
