WOW, you were so lucky to get a cabride let alone being allowed in the cab. That driver was such a nice man to give you the chance of a lifetime. I wrote to Virgin back in 2008 and they organised a tour of London Euston station for me plus a look in a Pendolino cab. The Pendolino I went in was 390 026 (Virgin Enterprise) which made my day. 5 Stars + Fav :)
Brilliant. I have been lucky enough to cab ride: HST; Class 222; Class 170; Class 86; Class 150; Class 153; Class 156; Class 158; Class 165; Class 08; Class 52 Western; Class 47; Class 66. Heritage DMU; and class 37, but I have never cabbed a Pendolino.....
Not clear which railway station we are stopped at. Obviously a station on the West Coast mainline. Definitely not one of the bigger ones like Carlisle, Preston, Crewe or Birmingham new Street. And not a station that sits on a curve like Penrith or Lancaster.
its a driver response safety device which the driver has to cancel to say that he is fully wide awake and fully concious of the situation whilst driving the train OTHERWISE if he fails the trains automatic stopping system would be Activated
Sure you're not thinkingof the Voyagers? The Pendolino's are very smooth when ive been on them. The only downside is the compromise in space in standard class for thetilting gear?

WOW! What a story to go with a nice vid, virgin could sell that 'Cab view and 4 cans of coke!' But yes what an amazing driver!

You are correct.

Thashing through Rugby (Midland) and Wolverton, and arriving at Milton Keynes. My Lords. Would have been even more hellfire in a DVT or AC loco ;)
a cab ride AND COKE! WOW!
Great Video, Man...!!! Congratulations... Just a question: what's the arriving Station? I think it is on Greater London... Tell me! Thanksss...

@MrNoobinator123 it was Milton Keynes on the up fast.
You're one funny dude LOL !!!!
lool Nice
Só faltou mencionar o percurso,estações,etc.O sistema de eletrificação é do tipo usado na Itália , mas aí parece ser a Inglaterra.
What happened to the coupling doors, are they just open or aren't they their
Looks like Milton Keynes Central at 3.44
i do not lie the horn its silly but nice passing Virgin at 3:57
How do you manage that do u work for virgin ???
Was that wolverton at 2.03?
Paul Southall Yes:)
mate you jumped when he tonned you:D
Wow fast
The APT-P's first cousin :-)
It looks like she was doing about 125mph or 130mph?
Pendolino's max speed is 125mph.
DaROBLOXChannel no it's Mac speed is 150 ;)
Michael Wotherspoon 140mph actually, they're restrained to 125mph.
Kudaan The Great 125 mph:)
Virgin Lady hmmmm.... from Birmingham new street to London Euston?
04:18 :) legend
Was The Train Long Or Short Like The One At 1:32????
Dan R They're all 9 coach because this was 2010.
All green signals as well.
Why do the drag from crewe to holyhead?
what is that beep sound for?
It's the AWS signal. It means the signal is green
What if the driver have to pee/take a crap, loo close to the cab? *lol*
Cheers
Me like very much Pendo´s :D
@dani probaly driver was in a good mood?
u picked the right man there thn lol 5 star
Not even a bucket in the cab? =O
Oh... It's Milton Keynes... ;-)
I think, the first station (at high speed) is Rugby...
lol i wasn't going anywhere though! iwas just filming and stuff and he changed driver aswell
how the hell did you get to sit in the cabin so luckey
what thanks for?
Jealous!
wat was the beeping noise???
its a driver response safety device which the driver has to cancel to say that he is fully wide awake and fully concious of the situation whilst driving the train OTHERWISE if he fails the trains automatic stopping system would be Activated
@danielrenshaw1 IT DOESENT MATTER
