Easy the train is moving at 5 mph and you are moving at 2 mph so the aggregate speed is 7 and mph relative speed 3 mph and vertical speed 0 Mph, so you could for UK New labour Spin purposes be travelling at 0, 2. 3. 5 or 7 mph or average the 5 out for an average speed of 3.4 mph, nothing is sacrosanct and not Liable to change in Blairs World.

With respect to the train the velocity is 2mph
With respect to the earth the velocity is 3mph. Actual speed is 2.9999999 mph. (relativistic speeds)

Relative to what?
To a person standing outside the train (watching you pass), you are going 3 mph
To you, and everyone else seated in the train you are walking 2 mph.
