Rough estimates which I use to drive the Voyager on BVE4:

10mph= 18 KMH
20mph= 32 KMH
25mph= 40KMH
30mph= 48KMH
40mph= 65KMH
50mph= 80KMH
60mph= 98/100KMH
70mph= 112KMH
80mph= 129KMH
90mph= 145KMH
100mph= 161KMH
110mph= 178KMH?- not sure
125mph= 201KMH
140mph= 220KMH

Hope the above helps! ;)

When I am driving my car, I use the (very rough calculations) of:
20 & 30mph = double and take off 10
50mph & 60mph = double & take off 20
For the other speed limits other members have said what to use.

Of course this country is only one of a small number in the world which not only insists on using antiquated measurements for most roads & mainline railways, but also uses different measurements depending on its fancy. Why do we measure CO2 emissions in g/km but measure fuel usage in miles per gallon? It's even more confusing as petrol is sold in litres!

140 MPH is 225 KM/H
(Intercity 225's design speed in KM/H is 225, in MPH is 140)

That's all I know.
