There was a project to upgrade it for more, faster trains, but I don't know if that project will continue. If it doesn't, IEPs will have good acceleration, but lower top speeds than the old diesels. But IEPs aren't expected on that line. Aren't they... No, all the ones on order are spoken for by VTEC and GWR. Not true: do your research. 2. Bedford to Kettering. Newly electrified, Is it, already? Not completed, but intended to be. We are talking about NR and Grayling here. The only thing you can reasonably expect is that whatever they claim today may change tomorrow. suitable for 125 mph electric or diesel trains. IEPs will outperform the existing diesels. 3. Kettering to Leicester and on to Derby, Nottingham and Sheffield. Electrification work started, Just a few bridge works. but work will be suspended indefinitely. Bi-mode IEPs will be able to run, but performance will be worse than current diesel trains, specially the Meridians. So keep the Meridians. Yes, but not the HSTs. There's only one tph (to Nottingham) operated by HSTs, and now electrification has been cancelled they'll have to find something else to replace the HST. But I doubt it'll be IEPs. Doubt it all you like… |
