Baroness Vere of Norbiton (Con)
The noble Lord will not be surprised to know that I do not have the average speed figures to hand, but one look at that line tells you that there are quite a number of stations, and they bring down the overall average speed. For example, on the Newark to Nottingham section, the new signalling system will allow speeds of up to 90 mph. It is key to get the trains moving much faster between the stations, although I accept that the average speed will be significantly below that.
The Deputy Speaker (Baroness Henig) (Lab)
My Lords, all supplementary questions have been asked.
