Tornado @ 101mph - Posted: April 12, 2017 - 11:59 PM Quote and reply
According to the BBC Tornado had a proving run from Doncaster to Newcastle and back Tuesday night/Wednesday morning for 90mph running. This included an overspeed test with 101mph reached at Thirsk SB. Videos on the net suggest a 9 coach load.
Realtime trains has a 22.07 on 11/4/17 Doncaster Roberts Road Tyne Yard and a 02.24 return via Newcastle. The A1 trust website also confirms this.
