Nuneaton: UP Trent Valley - Speed restriction?

[DarloRich]

A quick one: Is/was there a speed restriction just south of Nuneaton on the Up Trent Valley Fast yesterday? My Avanti went VERY slowly through the station and for a considerable distance south of it. I thought I saw a yellow 20 sign on the slow as we went past.

thanks - that doesn't sound good. 3 x 20mph restrictions? that is a large area fault!

Defect in RN503 points between UTVS and Arley Lines.
A new half set of switches is required to be installed to remove the speed.
Also speeds on DTVS and DTVF (Freight only) due to geometry defects in the area.

I think the UTVF was / is the only line without one.

Is another non-standard set of switches like the issue at Edinburgh on Sunday?

There is a suitable spare so will be done when access allows.
