[Talk-GB] Rail maxspeeds being converted

Hi

A user has been converting the maxspeed tag of railway line from mph to kph:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/278060675/history#map=17/51.42363/-2.72120

It appears to be a straight conversion ie 100mph = 161. Which seems a 
bit silly. I'm sure the limit wouldn't be exactly 161.

I thought that mph was valid as long as it was labelled as such.

Are the signs next to the rails still in mph?

His edits appear to be country wide.

I've sent him a message asking why he's doing it.
