This achievement is not very difficult, but it is time consuming and will take around 8 - 10 hours to complete.
If you have already completed the scenarios, you should have about 15% progress to this achievement already.
Go into the Services menu and select the Class 66 DBS train. Continue through to the list of services. We wish to choose a service that covers a large distance but has few stops. I personally chose the 04:32 4M21 Grain Thamesport to Brierly Hill service, as this covers 31 miles*, has only one stop and has no red signals. Begin the service.
Once in the game, go into the settings menu and ensure that you have 'Disable Junction Derail' set to On - this allows you to pass through junctions at any speed without failing the scenario/service, effectively putting the game into easy mode. However, you can still fail by passing through a red signal or by passing the final stop of the line at speed.
When the service starts, jump out of the driver's seat and exit the cab using the two doors behind you. Head to the back of the locomotive and uncouple the cargo carriages (this process is covered in the 4th scenario, Aggregate Industries). Return to the cab and get back in the drivers seat. Now, press forward on
to put the reverser in forward and hold 
to throttle up. Now, let the train accelerate and continue on its journey. This takes about 35 minutes, so have some other entertainment on hand while you wait.
The train will quickly reach a speed of 75 mph, also unlocking the Pushing the Limits achievement.

At the end of the journey, let the train pass through Reading station and fail the service (this will not award any XP). You now have the option to restart the service or return to menu. Keep restarting as many times as you need in order to unlock the achievement.
One complete playthrough will award you with 7% progress* - starting from scratch, that is 15 playthroughs. As each full playthrough takes around 35 minutes, that is around 9 hours of gameplay to unlock this achievement.
Once complete, sit back and enjoy your 100G achievement - you definitely earned it!
*Each run actually gives slightly less than 7% progress. Also, despite the objective marker when you start the service showing 31 miles, 7% of 660 miles is actually around 45 miles.

I just did a test with the class 43 for one of the other achievements using the first service in the list where you can run 200KM/h for the majority of it with no stops.
First run, respected all speed limits and gained 7% progress on the achievement. I then ran the exact same service again, but floored it the whole way and let the train crash at the end. The majority of this run was way above the speed limit and I only gained 1% progress. Unless not all the achievements behave the same, it looks like you do indeed need to respect the speed limits for progress.
Now, does progress stop at exactly 1KM/h over the limit, or do you have to really be cruising. In my case, I was 40-50KM/h over the limit at points in the second run.

For me the best run for this is the Journey “4V34 Felixstowe North to Bristol” near the bottom of the journey menu. This is because it’s late night with no red lights and speed does not vary much for those who find going over the limit doesn’t add percentage.
This is also made quicker by the fact that the speed limit on the train can be vastly broken with no consequence for anyone watching the game it hits around 120 just before needing to stop for the station. And applies to the windows 10 version too, for those with games pass.
For me it takes about 23 minutes per run and using the Xbox companion looks to be about 5% increase for a 30 mile run...sounds about right?

This is a good one for idling / afk. Each run is either 4 or 5%. It seems to vary.
