In the good old days commuting into Liv St on the cl 306s, If the train was overcrowded you could get into the intermediate cabs they seem not to have bothered to lock them, The speedos worked it was great to see the speed, less than it seemed to be from the passenger part
Likewise on the 309s you could stand in the corridor connection and see the speed
in the cab. I never saw one get up to 100mph
Same on the Euston 350s, but they have mounted a box of tricks on the side by the window so you cannot see the speedo anymore
Nothing is as good as it used to be. seats, window views, hanging out of windows,
compartments, Steam engines, gas lights on GOBLIN line, need a cup of tea bye bye
