Indeed, as the return shows

Pathed as Class 80x on electric
Planned for 56mph max
This isn't actually a planning error. For a while, VSTP schedules could have the wrong speed in the data feeds and this was converted back to the correct speed by dividing by 2.24. 125÷2.24=55.8 which is what RTT is showing (rounded to 56). Rail Record shows 125mph.

As a random other example VSTP schedule 5C15 shows 45mph in RTT. A 387 would normally be pathed for 100mph 100/2.24=44.6, rounded to 45mph.

Maybe it's time for @Tom to remove the conversion now it's no longer required?

Easier said than done with where it is in the pipeline and the state of the infrastructure (still recovering from an issue a year or so ago related to VMware being <insert choice words here>) but it is intended to be done late next month.
