Synopsis
As part of its bid for both the West Coast and Cross-Country franchises, Virgin Trains promised that it would upgrade the fleet that it inherited with new high-speed diesel and electric units - the Voyagers and Pendolinos respectively. Alongside these developments other franchisees - such as Midland Main Line - and open-access operators such as Hull Trains - also invested in new rolling stock. Since the units were introduced, they have revolutionised traffic on the routes over which they operate; the tilting Pendolinos now have a virtual monopoly on Virgin West Coast services, for example, even operating 'beyond the wires' to Holyhead, courtesy of diesel traction. Moreover, with the recent transfer of franchises from Virgin to CrossCountry and Midland Main Line to East Midlands Trains, the units delivered to these operators will gradually be repainted to reflect their new ownership and the original liveries will disappear. A high quality addition to existing literature on the new generation of modern high speed trains, with a wealth of colourful images illustrating their life and times into the 21st century. Written by highly popular author Colin Marsden, this is a must-have buy for all followers of the modern scene.
