Pretendolino MAX SPEED 110mph!!!

The virgin mk3 set or Pretendolino, just north of Milton Keynes, quite a rare sight when its doesnt stop at Milton Keynes, so me living in Milton Keynes dont actually see it at high speed very often. After travelling on this train the evening before, I noticed it must have had an engine change through the night, because it was EWS liveried 90020, but now its unknown Scot Rail livery. (Sorry it was practically impossible to get the number on that!!) Must have been doing its full 110mph.
Check out my video's taken yesterday on-board the Pretendolino and of it leaving Milton Keynes at night. Also check out the full video I took at this location, which just includes the usual pendolino's voyagers and desiro's.

I agree with kevatcrewe the pendlino has a bad interior and the luggage racks are to small

[kevatcrewe]

So much better than a Pendolino - more headroom, legroom, better seats, none of this 4 out of 9 coaches 1st Class only rubbish, more comfortable - bring back B.R

@rachaelmatt I wonder if the new 9-car set number 390054 will be renumbered to 390033

@rwf9999 LOL easy mistake to make!

[rachaelmatt]

@rwf9999 I've been to Tamworth! You're thinking of Pendolino's this is called the "Pretendolino" because its painted exactly the same as a pendolino, but is in fact an old train that can only do 110mph! I've been to tamworth loads of times, I live in Milton Keynes, I get exactly the same trains here as you do there! Pendolino's do 125, these do not!

@Patrick3222 So I wonder if the loco hauled set will stop running soon

[rachaelmatt]

@Patrick3222 I know, i've been on it already :p But hopefully a pendo will explode or something and we can all ride this abit more.

[rachaelmatt]

@rwf9999 Its the maximum speed for that train! It cant do 125
