Virgin Pendolino

Description:

• One of the nations most recognisable trains, Pendolino trains first arrived in the UK in 2001 when Virgin Trains bought 53 Class 390 Pendolinos. Pendolinos were established during the 1960s in Italy, the name derived from the Italian wordpendolowhich translates to small pendulum - due to the way the train tilts when going around curves on the track.

  The Pendolino trains tilting mechanism means it can run at higher speeds along older tracks whilst maintaining passenger comfort. The maximum speed of a Pendolino is 140 mph, but it can only run at 125 mph in the UK.
