Algebra Difficulty 2.0 Junior Prove it United Kingdom

It takes one minute for a train travelling at constant speed to pass completely through a tunnel that is 120 metres long. The same train, travelling at the same constant speed, takes 20 seconds from the instant its front enters the tunnel to it being completely inside the tunnel. How long is the train?

Want a route through all this instead of an archive? The track puts 2,604 problems in a working order, from Junior Challenge level to the IMO shortlist.
