5.31 in 21mins and 22secs

That's an average of around 24 kmph. Pretty quick!

Its not bad, route has one downhill which lasts 10 or so secs and 2 steepish climbs but they are short, 14.9 mph is how i like to think of it

Anyway, back on topic. Who's getting the 9:41 train from Queen Street to Perth that arrives at 10:36? Is that definitely the one that people are going for, safe to make a reservation?
