Well our speed limit is 70mph, assuming you get a decent clear run, which isn't often.
We do have high speed train services but it's quite costly, although it is very popular to travel long distances by train. Mainly because going by car can really be tiresome for some. I personally don't like trains anyway, so that rules out going anywhere by train for me.
When i go to Edinburgh, i'll have plenty of music CD's or have the radio on all the way.
