I remember the GCR applied for 40MPH running for special events, not sure if they got it, but it would be a bloody good sight  |

| I find it incredible how HMRI imposes speed limits on lines with engines that don't have speedometers A lot of diesel owners got lambasted over doing high speeds on preserved lines even though diesels have speedo's... There was quite a lot of mention over one diesel doing 40MPH on the Mid-Hants Railway!!! |
