First time in a while that I had a good unchecked run in the down direction. Service was 11L with nothing ahead.
As previously stated by Llama, the 319 is incapable of reaching 95mph on this stretch, and I've quoted Llama's excellent commentary which describes the graph.


Attached is GPS information for Salford Crescent - Bolton. Average speed of 64mph is very impressive.
Can be compared with post #1 if desired, which is an unchecked up journey.

Does seem to be a better run in spite of the lower maximum achieved. Gives an idea of what's possible I suppose.

The TPE trains which call at Bolton don't seem to be aimed at those wanting to travel to Scotland in the morning. The 06.42 is too early for most but there's nothing then until 12.44! Coming south is better - 1708 from Glasgow or 20.11 from Edinburgh. Are they all due to call at Bolton at some time?
