Pendolino

A Class 390 tilting train, known as a "Pendolino" is named by compounding the Italian word "pendolo"- to tilt and the dimunitive suffix -ino. These were used on Virgin trains (Now Avanti Westcoast) Northwestern routes alongside the Northwestern Railway and Southern plus the Overground till Watford Junction.

Operation
The trains run on the Euston to Edinburgh line via Milton Keynes. The Overground goes with these trains until Watford Junction. The Southern goes until Milton Keynes, Tring or Hemel Hempstead and the London NorthWestern Railway goes along with Avanti WestCoast until Birmingham.

Bombardier Voyagers
These rarely can be seen on this route, however they can do it. It reduces the overhead power line losing power as these trains are diesel and not really electric. There are three classifications, as seen on the Bombardier Voyagers page. They can tilt a bit but not really much.

Speed and limits
The Class 390 trains can be really fast but due to the 125 miles an hour restriction, you won't see one at full speed, unless it is on a test drive, which it might not.

Avanti WestCoast
The Virgin trains worked with Stagecoach which failed to sign a contract after having an invalid bid. Avanti WestCoast took over the Franchise and these trains were taken to Avanti WestCoast. They got a new dark livery too. They operate on the same routes but go mostly to Glasgow Central in Scotland.
