    Hi! I am just curious that what level/percentage of overspeeding is tolerated - if any at all - in different countries railways, mainly on those that we use in TSW?

    In Germany it is 0%. A max speed is just that… a maximum speed. As far as I know this is true for nearly all railways.

    At the UK operator I work at, there is no fixed figure as it depends on your reaction when you go over the maximum speed.

    If you go 1-2mph over and then immediately act to correct it, no action will be taken. If you fail to correct it immediately, it will be treated as speeding.

    If you go further than that above the line speed, it will be treated as speeding even if you correct it immediately.
