@thatsMrButtbreath2u They're limited to 75 mph on the mainline, although there is possibility of some newer locomotives getting permission to run at up to 90.

Spot on really enjoyed the video - what a surprise it must have been for any FGW passenger waiting for a normal service train!!

@falcons1988 Yeah, I'm aware of that. Britain's steam railways were completely astonishing! Here in America there've never been such amazing steam technology, not even in the U.S. which had very powerful, but not quite so fast steam locos. Here in Brazil, steam trains used to do an average of 25 to 35mph due, mainly, not advanced railroad design. Britain's gentle hills and green plains surely helped on that matter.

@rodrigoeternalfallen Before modern speed restrictions on steam loco's (H&S). Those locos would average over 100mph quite regularly
