We all know the Pendolino. It's a fast train, yes however it can not even get to it's top speed due to speed restrictions on the West coast mainline. So why were the class 390s chosen to do the job of delivering passengers up and down the country on the west coast mainline? Well, were network rail expecting to be able to increase the speed in some places by straightening curves or making more express lines? They could have payed a lot less and gotten slower electric trains.. If anyone has the answer to this please tell me.
