Thanks Tony, I have already seen that information on the web but it doesn't appear to be as straightforward as it makes it sound.
From observations, questions that spring to mind are:
a) Why do freight trains with bogie wagons have to comply with the lower speed limit but passenger trains don't?
b) Why do light engines have to comply with the lower speed limit but loco-hauled passenger trains don't?
