Guys,
Do any of you know what the official top speed for an MPV is the length of a typical Sandite One.

Cheers.

It's not as simple as a top speed. An MPV has to vary it's speed as it treats. The normal "laying" speed is 60mph, however, there may be locations that it is booked to treat at a lower speed, for example, where there is a high concentration of trees, or sites of know rail adhesion issues. The trains "should" be timed to take this into account

Each vehicle is 20.19m, so 40.38m.
