Design speeds of single or double slip points
Dear Network Rail Limited,
I would like to know what are the design speeds of single or double slip points on the UK railway system. Also, I would like to know whether the direction (straight or diverging) of travel makes any difference to the speed restriction? For comparison, in Finland, the maximum speed over double slip points is limited to 90 kmh on a straight route and 35 kmh on a diverging route respectively.
Yours faithfully,
Juhani Pirttilahti
