Had the fastest run home last night.

Left Stratford International on time at 18:49 and ran nonstop to Ashford International to be slowed to a crawl before the Ashford tunnel at 19:12 as the 19:13 had not left platform 5 which we arrived at. Not sure why as we normally arrive on platform 6.

My GPS from Dagenham Dock to the braking point at Ashford showed an average speed of 135.7 mph.

Not normally this quick, was a VIP onboard ? :lol:
