Perhaps, when the East Coast Main Line has the log awaited in-cab signalling applied, and trains dating back as far as 1991 can then run at their intended speed of 140mph then, as demonstrated previously, 3 hours 30 mins becomes a viable journey time. In addition, the new LNER trains, Azumas are also designed to cruise at 140mph, and with local trains already able to run at 110mph on ungraded slow lines will help considerably.
Google Maps (which provides fairly accurate travel times, calculated using a "travelling salesman" analysis of different routes, and adjusted for traffic, delays) offers 1.5 hours by air, 7:18 driving, under 9 hours by bus, and oddly, no train times. However, a quick check at LNER gives train time between 5 and 6 hours.
Thank you Jim Shaw. My initial question that brought me to this site was "how long, and thusly how far by train.
