'Pretendolino'to be refurbished

摘要

Virgin Trains' Mk 3 loco-hauled set, dubbed the "Pretendolino", is to be refurbished. The rake is leased from Porterbrook and has gone to Wabtec Kilmarnock, where all 10 carriages will undergo a refit. The carriages are used as a standby set in the event of a 'Pendolino'failure or if Virgin decides to run a relief train at busy holiday periods. It has also gained popularity in the charter market and has been hired for sporting events on a number of occasions.
