Virgin Pendolino on Fire

While waiting for a steam special a Virgin Pendolino appeared on the up line at Rugeley Trent Valley station. It appeared to be fresh out of the works and was on a test run. Lots of activity by the train crew. It finally limped into the station and put all local service on hold incruding the special.Appologies for the commentry.

[@Jay.3x]

lovely gum chewing there, very authentic lol.

[@Rori1987]

[@kenzieedward7583]

The steam train has returned in a new form called virgin pending

[@thataspieguy5244]

[@birdwithoutwings6858]

But pendolino is not a steam train

[@ChoobChoob]

One of the biscuits must have spontaneously combusted out of boredom.

[@MW-ow8ew]

I remember being on one of these when the same thing happened. I think its a problem with the brakes that stick on and overheat. I imagine the driver was waiting for them to cool down.

[@AllianceB95]

I bet it burned some rubber... By the looks of it it lost it's virginity aswell. (I know bad joke i just couldnt resist) Great catch!

[@gijs.22]

Call it “Virgin Flamedelino” and it will be good :)

[@cdsmrailaviation1099]

Looked Ex works as well! Fresh from the depot and it caught fire!

[@ashton_whiterblx1473]

The 09:20 to Milton Keynes is the 532 to Thomas The Tank Engines garage

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

Was there any lightning fire sparks and light flames bursting out of the compartments, or was it just a puff of smoke?

[@michaelmason7667]

How did the pendlino catch on fire?

[@thefatcontroller4094]

Steam multiple unit

[@WMRailSpotter]

Looks like someone has had a sneaky cigarette in the toilet

[@thatguyonyoutubemk2746]

Just another day on the British railways

[@bennickss]

Smoking is not allowed anywhere at this station, or on trains. This includes e-cigarettes.

[@MarshSteamVideosTM]

well that's something you don't see to often !! What was the date of this incident ? Also what was the steam special ? Regards Liam

[@AbhishekSanyalTGV]

I thought the video was about the Pendolinos going at extreme high speed...like when you say, "Wow! You're on fire today!"

[@alclassBtS]

Looks like it's on course for another new bogie, despite having just got a whole new set.

[@SiVlog1989]

It looked like the brakes for the far end of the train, the opposite cab end to the end the train was being controlled from, were dragging. This would explain the smoke, especially if the train was fresh out of the works

[@sophieteissier1001]

Is that a class 390 pendolino or a steam engine?

[@benjibatch]

9 years later, rewatching this video, I cant believe it took those involved 4 mins to realise maybe we should drop the pan? The first thing I thought once they stopped was they should probably drop the pan...

[@AbsTheUploader]

Those are some seriously curvy tracks

[@ifindifindlay77]

Hi, the steam engine was 70000 Brittania and the date was sometime in late 2012. Unfortunately I was unable to remain on site due to other commitments. With the amount of smoke comming from the pendolio it was nearly as good as a steam special.

[@turtelmcguire4457]

Ian Findlay it wasn't as fucking steam engine do you know what a locomotive is cuz that's not powered by dirty bitchy steam

[@tds_info_db9184]

u have more vids?

[@coyran]

I bet an APT wouldn't have done this.

[@james123212]

to be honest if it probably would have broken down before it happened

[@pennyjunction9066]

[@Jimwoodward1212]

[@Jakeso]

Nice video! I will say though that chewing on gum litteraly drove me six feet up the wall...

[@gijs.22]

WorldOfRailways didn't look like there where people on board

[@dougborrett3566]

Would that be concussion or conclusion? or a mix of both.

[@michaelmason7667]

I don't know

[@TheManunderwater]

Which Station was that?

[@MeesterMichelM]

Ah. The new Pendolino-dmu!

[@mikekirwan5326]

Do we know what the issue was?

[@mikehindson-evans159]

Nice piece of history - from the days (at 8:10) when coach "G" on an 11-car was still First Class.

[@tonylaw196]

The brake is jammed?

[@antman09ful1]

Good footage Ian of 5043 I filmed it today.

[@gamercoolcraft4208]

After the train fire: *turns into a London midland train*

[@bjoe385]

I saw a 390 at Roade running slow with some grey smoke coming from it.

[@shelbyYT-jx5wz]

yep, good catch at the end, virgin doesn't stop at rugeley.

[@user-zn8zr7po5r]

It's amazing that the train normally passes by the side of the train with smoke 😅 what about the safety system?

[@bennickss]

Network Rail: No smoking on railway property! Steam locomotives and this pendolino:

[@DatMeleeMan]

Awww I thought it was gonna race past at 100 mph while a trail of smoke behind it

[@marcorufa2157]

This is so steamy that looks like a Pentolino.

My god. That gum chewing and breathing.

Literally got back under it's own steam 😂

[@XPTV233]

Whi burnt the chips?

[@lizfielding8286]

Does anyone else think the sound of the other trains going past are like really weird for a train going that speed ha

[@RODALCO2007]

That is steam, if the train was on fire the smoke would be black. Possible cooling radiator rupture somewhere in the engine or transformer part. It is an electric train.

[@pennyjunction9066]

It was black

[@george911751]

oops somebody probably forgot turn the switch changing the supply system to the higher range. this could only happen if somebody run the train switched to lower range then real in the trolley

[@MrWhite-pn7ui]

+george911751 Meh?

[@nahan8637]

its all to do with the voltage the train is running at

[@craftythio]

Here we see.... Pendo in discuise at Preston

[@alexlangford6291]

It's sill to hold it outside of the station if it's in service, should have been cleared into the station so the train can be evacuated.

[@joeritchie7286]

Smokin !

[@sandradowling]

Your defence is terrified...

[@vinkavinka-bf5uk]

There was another pendolino that preesed the horn I think he meant good luck of putting the fire out

[@PhilPage227]

Did you find out what happened.

[@inglian02]

Looks like the rear power car when she's stopped. Not clear at the platform, though.

[@ac10372]

What camera did you use ?

[@ifindifindlay77]

This Virgin Pendolino is on fire! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@youfoundarchie8896]

vlog games we know. It's in the title

[@FirstGearSims]

Traction motor fire perhaps? Perhaps some grease could have ignited from excessive heat or a spark. Or it could have been a short circuit causing arcing between motors/bogies/wires/something.

[@spacecookie5730]

The train is on fire!

[@jeremycorbyn9559]

No worries, these things happen...you can't be held responsible for unforeseen circumstances. Still a quite interesting video.👏👍

I was shocked

[@retinaquester]

Cameraman chewing gum or so. Didn't mom tell you to do it with ur mouth closed. Nice vid BTW

[@BlackwolfOffical]

Call it a pendosteam

[@sjsoslalaaas2096]

why are the trains passing by like if nothing happened?

[@adamclayton5092]

If a train is even 1 minute late, it costs the rail operator £150 per minute in penalties

[@NirateGoel]

Because more or less nothing happened.

[@railway197240]

made by Hitachi?

[@asadstrainvideos6490]

How come the pendolino was on fire?
