110 mile/h Desiros getting closer

摘要

Following a technical assessment of the proposed testing of London Midland Class 350/1 Desiro EMUs at up to 110 mile/h (RB1399 p4), it has been decided that the trials do not need to be undertaken in Signal Protected Zone conditions. 'We are now planning to undertake the test on our own routes with our own drivers', London Midland told RBI. "This is being planned, but because this will be easier to arrange, it is off the critical path'. industry consultation over what is now known as 'Project 110' closes on November 4. A draft timetable has been posted on the Network Rail website.
