not being a geek or anything as i used to work on a Virgin Trains IT Contract

But they have Voyager and Super Voyager as well as pendalino

Pendolino only operates on some routes like the West Coast Main line. Voyagers run on the rest.

Virgin lost the Crosscountry Franchise last year. They only have the West Coast Main Line. Besides, Voyagers are not loco hauled either.

"yes well the standard wheels were 15" iirc and steel, hideous and rusty, also big tyre wall, so it colapses round corners, resulting in sluggish corning at higher speeds, my new wheels are low-profile and tyre wall doesnt collapse, makeing for faster cornerz, innit"

I'd fear his reasoning about changing the wheels haha. (from another forum

When they are older, they will realise how daft they sound, and cringe at the very thought.

There is a difference between being a bit of an annoying pleb because you're young, and being completely retarded.

You still see middle aged chavs, I think we're looking at a couple in the making

57/3's are used for rescuing broken Pendolinos
