SNIP!


As for the maximum speed limit on the LUL, well, there is a very grey
area at Amersham. There is a 70mph speed limit sign between Amersham
station and the Network Rail boundry, beyond the electrified track.
Now im told that the maximum speed anywhere on the LUL is 60mph. Ive
never seen this written down, but ive been told many times by many
different people that it is. But this 70mph sign exists. Can trains do
70mph there, or is this 60mph limit real? I for one keep on acclerating
past 60mph.


If you are lucky enough to actually get a unit capable of getting above 60
before Mantles Wood! Having to clear the 15mph "ESR" doesn't make it any
easier either.
