Fastest a train has ever gone in England is 200mph. This was a Eurostar travelling a few years ago on a newly-constructed line. Before that the record for British Rail (as it then was) was 149mph for an HST, which is the world record for a diesel train.

Rebuilding all Network Rail trunk lines to take trains at 200mph would take massive investment and I do not see that happening in the near future. Even the newer trains which are capable of around 150mph have to stick to 125mph max. because the routes are not designed for speeds any faster.
