There is a 60mph speed restriction in place on the B&H for passenger trains, between the hours of 11am and 6pm (although this can finish earlier). It's already been advertised has happening again tomorrow.
Freight is limited to 30mph, which is quite a trundle between loops. Some passenger trains are therefore catching up with even slower freight trains too, and many of them operate at the low speed of 45mph on a good day anyway!
I assume the few trains that aren't affected are the ones with either built in dwelling time en route or are the local suburban stuff that rarely gets above 60mph anyway.
