All Network Rail speed restrictions are in mph, except a handful (very distinctive) ones that are in both mph and kph (the units for the kph speed are on the sign) near the mouth of the Channel Tunnel (essentially the route between there and the freight yards). I don't believe there are any speed

Yes but if you do that, make sure that there's a tag used for lines which are fast, otherwise you won't easily be able to tell which routes have separate tracks for fast and slow trains (maybe that exists already) Richard On Fri, Jun 5, 2009 at 11:08 AM, Steve Hill st...@nexusuk.org wrote: On
