There is also the paths to consider on which route it is taking as rember Tornado on Top Gear was only allowed to do 75mph for pathing reasons Iam led to belive.

I know tornado is steam loco but I was using it as an example...
I think you will find that All steam locomotives allowed to run on NR (at present) are restricted to a maximum speed of 75 mph.
Certainly not due to "pathing".
