80mph I think through Redhill Tunnel, then 70mph across Trent Junction. A lot of trains will be slower, having been checked at Trent, plus quite a bit stops.

Geordie back from exile.
The speeds according to the Baseline Declaration from 2009 show 110mph on the fasts and 50mph on the slows through the station itself. There is a limit of 90 in Redhill tunnel on the fasts and 40 (I think) on the slows. On the Loughborough side the goods line slows to 20 just past the station.

These are the maximum speeds, not everything will be passing at this speed as mentioned by Chris.

There may have been some changes also since 2009.

The 20mph restriction on the up and down slow lines south of the station is long gone. It's 50mph onthe slow's now, rising to 75 just before Kegworth.
