Good luck getting from London to Glasgow by non-public transit in less than 12 hours.

Unless you take a coach it could easily take that long on a train right now

I think the next 23 years should see improvements that make the journey (are you thinking of the Edinburgh-London benchmark?) no different from an ICE journey is now.

The reason I said non-public transit is high-speed trains do the trip in about 4:30 and planes do it in under 2 hours according to Google Maps.

The distance between either Glasgow or Edinburgh and London is, and will remain, well out of range for electric vehicles, necessitating at least 1 (and probably more) lengthy recharging stops. It is, however, within range of virtually every gasoline/diesel-powered vehicle, meaning there would be no fuel stops during what Google Maps says is a 7-8 hour drive (depending on traffic).

I could have said Milwaukee-to-Duluth because it's the same distance (and something I've done in less than 6 hours), but there isn't (currently) any appetite to kill the internal combustion engine in the US.
