I think a new route between Exeter and Plymouth to allow this speed.

Definitely the latter. Let Bristol/Cardiff trains run on the former. And West of England trains on the latter. Leaves the Bristol - Exeter line for XC▸ services.

the record for bristol tm- london paddington is currently 1 hour 33 seconds and i belive most services do it in 1 hour 15 mins?
exeter to plymouth and beyond is the part that needs improvement

Would the canal between Reading and Pewsey cause any problems.

Nice photo. The most remarkable feature of which is the complete indifference being shown by the two people on the barge given what is about to go past them. And don't tell me it crept up on them silently....
