    It's 50 mph through Morpeth for all services and therefore the text is nonsense.

    I am aware of a restriction through Morpeth, and the phrasing rang alarm bells for me given the history of derailments due to excessive speed on the curve.

    It may be superfluous I fail to see it it can be "nonsense".

    I think you miss the point. Would you consider running through Morpeth at 50mph to be a highlight of a steam tour on the LNER mainline?
