Isn't that roughly the amount of journey time that will be saved compared with the existing Virgin trains?
Personally I take the Chiltern line up to Birmingham. Not as fast, but it's a nicer journey.
I think they should spend the dosh on improving the wifi on existing routes and removing phone signals altogether. So you can send an email to say sorry, I'm on the train. Can't talk. The wifi would of course have to fluctuate between zero and full bandwidth every 10 seconds to ensure that Skype etc don't work.
Then I could do my emails/read the paper in peace.
