SŽ Pendolino from Ljubljana to Maribor

Since around the year 2000, SŽ has used its small fleet of 3-car Pendolinos on their flagship corridor between Ljubljana and Slovenia's second city of Maribor.
I take a ride to see if these old Pendolinos are still any good and if a little 3-car set is enough to provide the service.
Oh, and, as ever, no ride in Slovenia is complete without some beautiful riverside running.
