    According to RTT it would appear 89001 arrived back at base after it's various outings overnight.
    Hoping that nothing was thrown up by those trips I presume it will next be hauling a loaded test train to complete the certification process.
    Incidentally, I believe it is quite normal on these test trains to achieve 10% more than the registered maximum speed.
    If so, is 89001 being certified by LSL for 100 mph running - in which case it should get up to 110 mph - or it's original 125 mph?
    If the latter, it would have to reach 137.5 mph but I do not recall anywhere on the WCML to do that.
    A 140 mph maximum speed had been intended to operate on the ECML, over the 'flashing greens' section north of Peterborough, but was never introduced. Also, I presume that section has since been maintained to permit 'only' 125 mph?
