Default CTRL domestics delay

The specialised 186mph trains are due to start running from stations in

Kent
to London along the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL), but ministers are

still
arguing over which rolling stock to order.

Over engineered trains again. Would it not be eaiser to use the line
at 160mph and add 5 minutes to the London Paris journey time?


It would be even easier to run it at 90mph and use MK1 EMUs (lots of them
going spare now), but that would be missing the point of the line, wouldn't
it?
