I thought the Central went at up to 100kph?

Which is about 60 miles an hour or a little more.

The 92 stock is banned above 85kph post chancery lane.
The 67 stock was at one stage permitted to about 55mph, but now will
trip at 47mph.
I've known refurbished 73 stock to hit 55mph between Acton and
Hammersmith EB.
The London Underground speed record (so I've heard) is A stock running
empty and downhill, reaching 86mph.
