Where did you get that info Colin? Just been through line suppliment and line speed is 45 throughout unless a PSR / TSR/ ESR sign is displayed. (trying to keep me on my toes!! ;D) In the first instance, my three instructor operators. Within the central area we are not permitted to have the weak field flag up, so that limits the train to 30mph (unless the coasting control flag is raised). Since the line was re-signed, I haven't seen any signs in the central area showing anything above 35 mph. That was the basis of my original post. Ah, fair enough. Not going to knock that in any way shape or form ;D To be honest its nigh on impossible to get above 35mph in the tunnel sections apart from the odd location so its academic anyway. The rulebook is open to interpretation in certain instances this being one of those occasions. As a side, signage is only ever put in where a speed restriction is below line speed. so if there is no restriction, the line speed is available if required.

The linespeed in tunnels is generally about the same or slightly faster. When you think about it, it is safer to travel faster underground because there is no risk of trespassers. Its about the same on the picc. I am not so sure about districts wizzing past picc trains though, i think thats some sort of optical illusion!
