You missed out Wigan 😂

With the WCM service, could do door to door to London in 3 hours. 👍

And now you got the new Class 805 and Class 807 Evero that are in service and have replaced the Class 221 Voyagers.

Whilst it's correct to talk about Fiat Feroviaria developing the Pendolino tecnology, their work was a development of the UK's Advanced Passenger Train technology from the 1970s...

In essence, the Pendolino was the enhanced reintroduction of an existing (25 year old) British Rail technology, rather than the new technology that this video seems to imply.

2:04 "One hundred forty mile an hour" that would be one hundred (forty miles per hour) or 100 x 40 mph = 4000 mph. I hadn't realised they could go that quickly.

I assume that it's a robovoice adopting US misEnglish.

Is it true it can be thought of as a development of the APT or is that just a myth arising from the use of same technology?
