	The Gatwick Express
		Gatwick Airport is in fact significantly out of town, about half way between London and the South Coast of England.
		The 1965 class 73 engine which pulls the Gatwick Express has a top speed of only 90mph (144km/h), indeed this reflects many of the linespeeds in the area because it shares the mainline with class 411 Connex-South-Central 90mph EMUs which date back to 1958.
		It is unlikely that the Gatwick Express will ever be a high speed train… there is not much consumer pressure when Journey time is in the order of under half an hour to reduce journey time.
