From going on the "Thameslink Tracker", run by the Branch Line Society in July 2015, I recall it was either 10 or 15mph, but I'm not 100% sure.

10 mph on all roads except 3mph through the wash, and 5mph in the sheds.

Ah! I wasn't wrong then. The "Thameslink Tracker" went through the (working) washer at both Cauldwell and Jowett sidings - must have been the cleanest train on the line!

Spick and spam, slight error the wash at Bedford is not at jowett sidings but between the main line and Bedford CS.

Thanks - the map that was supplied for the trip doesn't make clear that these are separately named as the numbers of the sidings run sequentially across both, it seems.
