Hi everyone,

I'm just wondering if anyone can help me out I'm trying to do some research on the Bristol Temple Meads to Plymouth route I am looking for line speeds across this route I contacted First Great Western and they told me to contact Network Rail, which I did two weeks ago but still no reply, does anyone have access or know any of the line speeds on this route like around Plymouth, Exeter.


Thanks in advance for any help

Bristol TM-Taunton varies but max speed is 110mph. Taunton - Exminster is 100mph. Exminster - Dawlish Warren is 80mph, Dawlish Warren - Dawlish is 60mph, Dawlish - Teignmouth curve is 75mph, Teignmouth curve is 60mph, Teignmouth boat yard - hackney is 80mph-90mph, Hackney Yard-Plymouth is between 60mph and 55mph with a faster section down Hemerdon.
