Lets take a walk down the news addition to the Virgin Trains West coast Ltd, The Virgin Trains Pretendolino set which is the replacement for Virgin Trains Class 390 Pendolino 390 033 'City of Glasgow'.
The video goes down the the complete length of the train showing each anf every MK3, All nine (9) of them infact. Also the best is the Virgin Trains DVT in the New grey and red livery and a EWS (DB) First Scot Rail Class 90 providing the power for this set which will depart preston. (This will be shown in a different video).
Half of this train is coming out on model from Hornby, 5 out of the 10 coaches (Including a spare buffet coach VT have). But I do hope next year or 2012 they release newer ones with the differ coach letters.
The Pretendolino is parked next to a fellow member of the Virgin Trains fleet, the Super Voyager DMU which can be seen towards the rear of the video (END).
I hope you have enjoyed the video, please feel free to comment with your thoughts, leave feedback, add as friend, subscribe.
Cheers

@Virgintrainsuk They're packed most of the time haha, its worse when a service that usually has a Pendolino gets a Voyager, because they're a lot shorter. I was on a train from Preston to London the other day and instead of a Pendolino the train was a 5 car Super Voyager, really busy :D

@ObviouslyOutplayed95 Yeah thats one of the only problems with the Pendolino, the narrow windows. Normally its packed coming out of Euston and just make the train hot and cramped.

@Virgintrainsuk Love the Voaygers, so smooth and the windows are huge. I do like the Pendolinos but the windows are quite small and when its busy you usually get a seat next to no window ;like in between windows. :D

@ObviouslyOutplayed95 Haha No Problem :) I guess it kinda looked like I didn't like them saying that haha There are indeed a good train :) But nothing beats the Virgin Voyager ;) the pendolino is of course second.

@Virgintrainsuk Ah right :) I asked because you said 'am afraid not' when that guy asked you if they were being replaced. Sorry if I caused any confusion, looking back on it my comment looks pretty random as a response to yours haha ;)

@ObviouslyOutplayed95 WTF? Yeah it be great to have the old stock back. But the Pendolino's are such amazing state of the art trains. They are a lot smoother and quiter compare to the Pretendolino. But they don't allow you to put your head out the window :(
