    On Hamburg lubeck and on spirit of steam what are the overall speeds like?

    Is Hamburg lubeck more of a 100mph route or the more common 75mph route from German?

    Does spirit of steam have good section of 90mph track or is it 60mph most of the way.

    I tried watching YouTube videos but because it wasn't the main focus I couldn't get a good idea.

    I'm looking at my next route, more for custom services than timetable but I recently purchased TVL so not looking for another 60mph route and looking for something a bit more express like HRR or LBN.

    Be appreciated if anyone takes time to give a answer thank you

    Spirit of steam has 90mph sections but you would only be able to reach that in express runs and takes some time to accelerate to that speed. You can't reach that fast with freight since it's heavier and slower

    I think Hamburg lubeck is more like 140km/h I think. I quickly did a run but I had to go but it's mostly 140kmh

    Hamburg route is 140kmh for the most part. There’s a small section that’s 160kmh.
