The top speed the train can go on the skegness branch line is upto 90mph that's why it didn't feel as fast as it Normally would

The restricting factor along that route is the line speed. Not sure it can be increased with the current signalling or infrastructure in place

I believe ruling line speed is 60mph. Very run down former main line. Miles of straight track would be suitable for high speed but not economic

I don't think the line speed is as fast as a HST would normally go.. as the "normal" trains have limits of 90/100 mph it seems slower?

yeah that would make sense, it just seemed a lot slower than i had imagined (if that makes any sense at all🤣)
