Hi All,
I am just wondering what is the speed limit through Tiverton Parkway?

The Reason I'm asking is that Non-Stop HST's pass through at what appears to be Different speeds.

I believe it is 100. (Or at least that is what it is on Railworks!) :P

It's a flat 100 mph (no differential speeds for different kinds of train).

The crossover south of the station is 25 mph and the loops are 25 on entry and 40 on exit.

Again according to RW3, the it is mainly 100, although there may be a 110 stretch. (Or is that between Tiverton and Taunton? - I can't remember!)

The bit between Bradninch and Stoke Cannon Seems a faster bit?
No, it's 100 mph on the main lines of the GWML all the way from Huntspill to about 1.5 miles before Cowley Bridge Junction. The 110 mph section is from just beyond Uphill Junction to Huntspill.

Mostly 60mph all the way, 30 across ribblehead and 50 on the approaching run to Carlisle? but as you say, this has most likely been increased since ive been.
