	Atkins - Dolphingstone Permanent Diversion of the East Coast Main Line
		Dolphingstone Permanent Diversion of the East Coast Main Line
		Atkins proposed to divert the railway to the south side of the existing main line, at the maximum distance possible, while retaining the line speed of 125mph.
		The main line was renewed on top of this formation, using CEN 60 conventional materials.

	East Coast Main Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The East Coast Main Line viaduct at Durham.
		The ECML is one of the fastest railway lines in the UK, with most of the line rated at 125 mph (200 km/h).
		The ECML is one of the busiest lines on the rail network and there is currently insufficient capacity on parts of the line to satisfy all the requirements of both passenger and freight operators.

	East Coast Main Line - Definition, explanation
		The line was originally built in piecemeal fashion by many small railway companies, but mergers and acquisitions led to only three companies controlling the route (north to south: the North British Railway, the North Eastern Railway and the Great Northern Railway).
		The ECML is one of the fastest railway lines in the UK, with most of the line rated at 125 mph (200 km/h).
		In contrast, the West Coast Main Line has to traverse the Trent Valley and the mountains of Cumbria, which means more bends, and a lower speed of 110 mph (178 km/h) (although this has been addressed in recent years by the introduction of Pendolino tilting trains).

	West Coast Main Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The line was built in stages between the 1830s and the 1870s, with the first stages being the Grand Junction Railway (Warrington - Birmingham) and the London and Birmingham Railway, both completed in the 1830s.
		No-one had attempted to implement moving block on a line as complex as the WCML anywhere on the world, and it soon became apparent to engineers that the technology was not mature enough to be used on the line.
		The North Wales Coast Line from Crewe to Holyhead and the line from Manchester to Preston are not electrified.

		The GNR's role in the establishment of an Anglo-Scottish East Coast route was confirmed by establishment of the East Coast Joint Stock in 1860, whereby a common pool of passenger vehicles was operated by the GNR, North Eastern and North British Railways.
		The main revenue of the GNR was derived from freight, mainly coal, for which major marshalling yards were built at Doncaster, Colwick (Nottingham), New England (Peterborough) and Ferme Park (London).

	High-speed rail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The remainder of Britain's railway network is determinedly slower—nominal top speeds on some lines of 225 km/h (140 mph) have yet to be run, and most inter-city traffic is restricted to a maximum speed of 200 km/h (125 mph) using track largely built in the middle years of the nineteenth century.
		A new high-speed rail line between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, cutting travel time between the two cities to 28 minutes (currently about 75 minutes), is under construction by Israel Railways and expected to begin service in 2011.
		Despite the approval, financial considerations intervened; the cost of the five lines (five trillion yen, or roughly 18 billion U.S. dollars at the 1973 exchange rate), combined with the oil shock and recession of the 1970s and early 1980s resulted in some lines being cancelled and others delayed until 1982.

	Railway Technology - East Coast Main Line Rail Route Upgrading - United Kingdom
		The main constraint on growth is the lack of capacity imposed by basic track layouts and signalling systems, particularly at the London end, where inter-city, commuter and regional trains fight for the paths.
		The line also crosses challenging terrain in its southern half as it cuts through hills on the approach to the capital with numerous tunnels and a two-track viaduct at Welwyn.
		The East Coast Main Line is seen as a front-runner for fitting the new European Trains Control System (ETCS) which must be adopted on all 125mph routes following a European Union directive.

	Train-Sim.Com Review: The Cambrian Route
		The East Coast Main Line of the UK is close to the hearts of most rail enthusiasts in Britain, being steeped in history.
		For myself the association with the East Coast Main Line is doubly poignant having spent a large portion of my life making the daily commute from London Kings Cross to Peterborough on the very tracks that have been modelled in addition to being an enthusiast with little hope of treatment or redemption.
		As steam gave way to the relentless march of progress and was superseded in the 1960s by diesel the East Coast Main Line played host to the illustrious Class 55 Deltic locomotives which were tasked to haul the crack expresses.

		But consumer groups representing those who use the East Coast main line voiced their concern.
		It is vital that the capacity study on the east coast mainline is undertaken as soon as possible - it is bizarre that franchise and other access rights have been negotiated in advance of this crucial review.

	Physics: SPEED - rail travel
		The east cost main line - London to Edinburgh via York and Newcastle - has long been one of Britain's fastest railway routes - with long straight sections crossing mainly low lying ground.
		Now the east coast route has been electrified and operates the Intercity 225 stock - capable of routine speeds up to 150mph.
		The east coast route remains Britain's fastest railway route - although the Eurostar trains operating from London to Paris and Brussels are capable of higher speeds, they only run at their maximum of 300 kph (190 mph) in northern France.

	House of Commons Hansard Debates for 6 Dec 2005 (pt 4)
		The award of the east coast main line franchise to the Great North Eastern Railway provides for substantial increases in the number of services provided, along with opportunities for extensions to the electrified network.
		On top of that, I except that further improvements will be made to ensure that the line, which is one of the main arterial railway routes in the country, can carry more and more passengers.
		Secondly, the Government have to take a view on the effect that new operators on the east coast main line have on the passenger loadings of existing services, and the subsequent effect on any subsidy that is payable or, alternatively, the premium payments to Government.
