Saw the UPX on a test run from my apartment last night. It actually scared me, I wasn't looking for it on purpose. All of a sudden, it just fired like a bat out of hell from the Weston Tunnel, and to the west across the Humber. It had to be climbing to 90 mph, I'm used to hearing and seeing GO trains roar out of there, probably going 45 mph max.
We have been tracking its progress and analyzing its readiness for launch here, but its something else to see it zipping across the skyline.
Probably doing speed tests.
Apparently these little DMUs can go up to 100mph, as they were designed for commuter service, not just a small spur line.
