Everyone in their right minds knows
Your comment is rather inflammatory, as well as being speculation - this has never been proven (and they've had many decades to do this), and is generally considered as sour grapes ...

My original comment has been withdrawn. However, the facts are that City of Truro was recorded at 100+ MPH by two separate recorders on the train, that it was 20 years before the F/S made its run and that the record of 100+ MPH has been accepted by many authorities world wide. You say it has never been proven, but more to the point it has never been DISPROVEN.
Any 'sour grapes' come from Doncaster, not Swindon.
So far as I am concerned THIS DISCUSSION HAS NOW ENDED AND I'LL NOT BE COMMENTING FURTHER on the subject.

Given that 75kg is just a little over 7 fatal doses of theobromine (the poisonous component of chocolate) I hope you share that with someone  :worried:
