110mph for london midland

[ole man]

I've read that london midland are going to see if they can run at 110mph, now this will easily achieved on the fast lines up and down the wcml, what about on the slow lines, thought the OLE was only fit for 100mph, various parts of the slow lines have been upgraded by jv in the wcml uograde but not all.
Would anything else need doing to achieve 110mph running?:roll:

There's a thread about this already but I can't find it at the mo but my assumption is that the 110mph running will allow paths through Weedon and generally on the fasts instead of 110mph running on the slows

Without stating the obvious, what is the line speed of the Slow Lines? Most slow lines usually have a Table A line speed of no more than 75mph.

That's my assumption too.

Slow lines south of Milton Keynes have a top linespeed of 100mph IIRC in some places.

not everywhere they don't,the slow lines between crewe and stafford are 100mph running,and crewe north there are places that are the same.
So will LM just run at 110mph on the fast lines then if 75mph was the case?, what would be the piont when majority of LM services run on slow lines?
