The Virgin Trains Pendolino - A history of the class 390 | Part 3: The operations of the Pendolino

Hello & welcome to episode three of the remaster of my Class 390 series. In this 3 part mini-series I will talk through the history of the class 390s. In today's episode (episode three), I will go through the operations of the Class 390s, how they entered service, how they saved hundreds of lives at Grayrigg and there operations since moving to Avanti West Coast.
This series has been remastered and updated from my former 'Tilting Triumph' series.
