Class 91 'Blunt' End

[E_Reeves]

Hi,

I was just wondering wether if a Class 91+Coaches+DVT can still work at its max allowed speed if the 91s 'blunt' end was leading instead of the normal end?

Thanks

I believe it's limited to 110mph when running blunt.

Yes I heard that too.

Yep, we had a discussion recently about it. Down to aerodynamics and all that.
