As it is when the ECML (East Coast Main Line) was electrified in the late 80s/early 90s it was done on the cheap. The class 91 locomotives that were ordered to run new trains were built with a design running speed of 140mph but the overhead catenary equipment only for 125mph running. With the distances between London and Edinburgh that would have made a significant impact.
