Pendolino gets a new look
Alstom and Virgin Trains have launched ‘Alstom Pendolino’, a new look for one of the 52 high-speed tilting trains serving the West Coast Main Line. This is in recognition of the successful partnership between the two companies, established in 1999.
The fleet, built and maintained by Alstom, is one of the most intensively used in the world, with 47 trains in service every day, covering over 16.5m miles per year. Each train averages 1,100 miles per day in service. www.virgintrains.co.uk
