answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2018 answer text <p>On the East Coast Mainline, Intercity Express Trains (IETs) are capable of achieving 125mph in electric traction and in diesel mode a balancing speed (determined by a number of variables such as track gradient and passenger load) of approximately 115mph under test conditions. The average speed of the IETs will be dependent on the route, stopping pattern and dwell times at stations; we therefore do not hold this information. With respect to Hull Trains, it is not possible to comment on the performance of any trains not procured by the Department.</p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 30/01/2018 11:34:43 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone
