its a Kings Lynn route speed and ECML capacity enhancement (125 mph

Ah yes, I see - actually 115 mph would do, as the only 125 is through
Knebworth and Stevenage


Yep, run the Cambridge Cruisers and the Lynns at full line speed be it
115/125 whatever and squeeze out white space caused by the 100/125 mph
speed differential. OK 2 TPH fast won't gain you much, but the few
seconds it does might allow one more TPH overall, and thats a lot of
seats extra that could go somewhere.

There is *some* method in some madnesses in a few cases.
