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.

Javelin looks so cool than any Japanese domestic trains,for us Japanese too!!
I want to visit UK to see them someday.

@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.

@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.
Can I use your clip to object to the HS2 route going thru an area of outstanding
beauty thru the Chilterns - I have an original song approx 3 mins long
