On 2, I've gone through my sort of places like the Marquee, the 100 Club and Ronnie Scotts but most are earlier so I've settled on Annabel's.
The only two I knew have been answered.

Ah, clever!
Is it 4.5 miles on the trains?
I'm not sure that it matters what time they collide although that might be at 28 minutes and 48 Seconds.
Isn't it more about the rate at which they get closer?
I think that could be 2.25 miles per minute.
ie
55mph train covers 22 miles in 24 minutes.
80mph train covers 32 miles in 24 minutes.
They get 54 miles closer to each other in 24 minutes.
They are therefore getting closer by 2.25 miles per minute.
But I may well be wrong.
