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]

must be first time, not a virgin anymore... of chewing gum

[@kenzieedward7583]

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

[@turtelmcguire4457]

I think the Pendolino was the steam special.

[@thataspieguy5244]

Loool

[@ShwervinMervin]

Lol. I thought that as well, but Urm; was there any passengers?

[@sarotrains8828]

[@birdwithoutwings6858]

But pendolino is not a steam train

[@CharlieManchester1]

They were cooking sausages on board. Nothing to worry about

[@cbj063]

I do like a nice sausage.

[@finnandbobo]

Can i have one?

[@ChoobChoob]

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

[@sosig1341]

I can’t get over how clean those bogies are

[@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]

DieselHeart BR218 or a burned axle seeing the smoke was low

[@bennickss]

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

[@WMRailSpotter]

Looks like someone has had a sneaky cigarette in the toilet

[@AbhishekSanyalTGV]

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

[@thatguyonyoutubemk2746]

Just another day on the British railways

[@stulop]

unattended chip pan in the galley?

[@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

[@Jakeso]

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

[@darrylrarmstrong]

Same here!

[@AbsTheUploader]

Those are some seriously curvy tracks

[@ToddHendry]

My god. That gum chewing and breathing.

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

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

[@MeesterMichelM]

Ah. The new Pendolino-dmu!

[@CadenWASD]

"Its dellayed due to signalling problems" Anne, the train's on fire love

[@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...

[@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?

[@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

[@krashd]

"Any Star Wars fans aboard? We've had a bit of a problem in the galley and the sausages have turned to the dark side."

[@marcorufa2157]

This is so steamy that looks like a Pentolino.

Network Rail: No smoking on railway property!

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

[@gamercoolcraft4208]

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

[@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]

JamesIvell 🤣🤣

[@alclassBtS]

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

[@InterRegios]

Conclussion: test twice before go on track!!

[@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

[@robertmilne4304]

I watched this thinking " could this possibly get any more interesting?" and it didn't.

[@antman09ful1]

Good footage Ian of 5043 I filmed it today.

[@mikehindson-evans159]

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

[@michaelmason7667]

How did the pendlino catch on fire?

[@Jimwoodward1212]

390132 was the one on fire ?

[@whyyoulidl]

Literally got back under it's own steam 😂

[@DatMeleeMan]

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

[@RosyPosyPumpkin]

Oh wow

[@sophieteissier1001]

Is that a class 390 pendolino or a steam engine?

[@TheManunderwater]

Which Station was that?

[@craftythio]

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

[@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

[@tonylaw196]

The brake is jammed?

[@Goodchappy]

Interesting footage but horrible sound of what sounds like someone chewing gum.

[@joeritchie7286]

Smokin !

[@shelbyYT-jx5wz]

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

[@lizfielding8286]

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

[@Del-bm]

That was exciting for a bit lol

[@user-zn8zr7po5r]

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

[@jeremycorbyn9559]

Dear passengers, we are now arriving into Rugeley Tre- HEY WHO GOES THERE SMOKING?

[@soobinsbread590]

When train enthusiasts said the pendolino is hot
*they aint lying*

Do we know what the issue was?

[@arthurvasey]

PASSENGER ON TRAIN: I know I expected a wish to be cremated - but couldn’t they wait until after I died in order to do so?

[@HobbyLifeSMF]

WOW！

[@jappedut9009]

Hey man, the trains on fire save the crew 😀 forget about the passengers ❗️

[@bjoe385]

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

[@vinkavinka-bf5uk]

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

[@jonmortermusic]

Did anyone else have to turn the volume off?

[@mrbob55304]

Dude, it's the internet. Wheat. Chaff. Mute.

[@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

[@dashcamuk23]

Is that supposed to happen?

[@PhilPage227]

Did you find out what happened.

[@inglian02]

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

[@jay-xo9dx]

This would of been doing it’s testing after just being lengthened to 11 coaches

[@ac10372]

What camera did you use ?

[@ifindifindlay77]

Panasonic HTC SD

[@juliehom3826]

I was shocked

[@quarans08]

Same exact train passes.

[@SJsTransport]

Love how the other pendos just carry on by and watch thier colleague's "burn" lol 😂

[@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.

[@PlungerCam_edits]

Oh no

[@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.

[@Ben_Clayton]

I knew it was the toaster.

[@neilburns8869]

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

[@Chanu197]

I think that train was reacting to snoop dogs smoke weed everyday

hahahaha

[@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.

[@leekingham6963]

I hope there's no passengers on that trian it's nice that he just got off and fucked off and left them
