Yes sorry , typo on my part .
Its closer to 30 km / h due to the longer distance the SG train has to
travel ansd the strange way the distance is measured via tottenham.
10 km is the BG distance , its about 15 km via SG which makes the av
speed 30 km / h , still pretty slow.

MD

Spencer St to Newport is 10 km via BG .
However , due to the bizarre way that the distance is counted via SG
,ie in the fact that the train has to run out to Tottenham , run
around to Brooklyn and then go back on itself to Newport
