If memory serves the maximum permitted speed as far as Carstairs southbound is 90 mph.

Tilting triggers off beacons, but there may or may not be an associated EPS speed increase.

Yes, but there is a 2-mile stretch of 90/105 EPS northbound past Shieldmuir.
The southbound non-EPS speeds are generally a bit lower that the northbound, for some reason.
No tilt/EPS on the Edinburgh branch either.
