Tony Miles from Modern Railways has said ever since the failed franchise award to First Group for the West Coast franchise that options for running non-tilting stock at up to 115/120mph and for running tilting stock at up to 130mph are serious proposals. Of course Railtrack were supposed to upgrade the West Coast mainline years ago to allow up to 125mph with standard stock and up to 140mph with tilting stock. At one time all Liverpool-London and Manchester-London services were supposed to have journey times of under 2 hours without first building HS2. |
