Does anyone know the linespeed through Nuneaton station on the fast lines, Stafford station on the fast lines and Watford Juction on the fast lines?

Thanks

Nice try, but no.

Basically if the majority of the line is 110 or over it will count the entire thing as "110 to 125" even if there many 'islands' of 70, 80 or 90 mph running which actually severely slow trains down, given that it takes time to accelerate back up to 110+ after each of them. e.g. on the ECML the Newark flat crossing is 100mph and costs trains a few minutes, yet there is no record of that in the business plan documents - they are not a patch on a sectional appendix (understatement).

I like the 0-35 category. All it takes is a short section of 0 and nothing would ever move

Oh ok, I get it!

Stafford is 110mph both lines, though the Down Fast is 75 down to the DF-P3 turnout before becoming 110mph.

Watford is 75mph both lines.

Nuneaton is 100mph both lines.

Taken from current Sectional Appendices, sections MD101 and NW1001.
