I read recently that the Midland Mainline is being upgraded to 125mph in places.
I know the Turbine Powered APT did London-Leicester in 58 minutes in the 1970s doing 125mph.
I'd imagine they will get London-Leicester to about 60 mins, Sheffield in 2hrs should be possible.
I don't know the line that well but think London to Bedford and Leicester to Derby would be suitable for 125mph.

- How much is the projected cost?
- Which stretches are suitable for 125mph?
- Has the work started and when is it due for completion?
