Linespeed increases from last Monday in October will see linespeed between Welshpool and Sutton Bridge junction increase to 145kph (90mph). Increase in speeds over the points into and out of Newtown and Welshpool from 25kph to 40, 45 or 50 kph depending specific location.
Other linespeed...
In a thread some days/weeks ago there was a discussion about Dyfi Junction becoming a request stop from the new timetable. This is incorrect. All trains will continue to call and the station was shown as a request stop in error in the new timetables.
Does anyone know the length of one of these vehicles? I never paid a great deal of attention to the exact length of an individual vehicle. More interested in overall train length from the TOPS list.
Thanks for your help.

I wonder if any ScotRail employees can help.

I will be in Scotland...
