@Arriva2010 The trains in the UK have a speed limit of 125 and whether they are capable of going over this speed or not, they are physically/electronically limited.- two reasons, the drivers would find it difficult to physically see the signal,though not impossible,at greater speeds,and signal blocks would need to be much longer - this is a problem for commuter services or small Sprinter class trains that may share the line.
ECML can run 125 because of the straightness of the line in the north.
@TheSaintST1 WCML is built around lots of obstacles and if you ever travel to Rugby from London, you get a very sharp right hand bend to demonstrate this outside the town.Instead of straightening the tracks, the idea has been to re-employ tilting trains again (with spin-off technology built here and sold to the Italians). Speeds can be greater on the bends provided the tilt mech is operating.Older trains were restricted to 100mph. Trent valley is a full-fat 125mph- possibly 135mph in the future.
Absolutely stunning views, great video. What a pity that this country has lagged so far behind on building high speed lines such as HS1. I feel sure we would have tempted more people out of their cars if we had built a network of rapid lines like this over Britain leaving the existing network open to fast freight & slower stopping trains and negating the need for useless & costly road widening and bypass schemes.

On the A1090 road bridge Purfleet Essex. You are next to the RSPB reserve. I've had verbal abuse from the local morons in cars while standing there, but it would not stop me. So better to go with a friend if you can.
