Will the newer trains run at 65mph in the open sections?
No the maximum is lower, from memory is either 80km/h (50mph), or 90km/h (56mph) don't think it is even 100km/h (62mph) which is highest for Inspiro design. Sorry can't be sure, and might be mixing it up with other stock.
Not sure there is anywhere on the line that can take that speed, the current trains max is only about 72km/h (45mph)
