There's more variables to take into account.
In 2006 I was on the Flying Scotsman (the name historically given to the 10am departure from King's Cross to Edinburgh on the East Coast Mainline) - only stopped at Peterborough, York and Newcastle before Edinburgh. If memory serves me correctly it was 4h and 20 minutes.
The ECML is 632km / 393m long, so the average speed would have been roughly 160kph/100mph
