ALSTOM Class 390 Pendolino 'tilting' trains

Class 390 are High speed electric multiple-unit EMU trains. Class 390 EMUs are tilting West Coast Main Line sets units. Class 390 are electric multiple units using Fiat Ferroviaria's tilting train Pendolino technology and built by Alstom. Class 390 operate from a 25 kV pantograph overhead power supply. The original 9-car sets of Class 390 EMU units were built 2001-2005 by Alstom, Birmingham, from welded aluminium alloy and are powered by Alstom traction motors. New Class 390 vehicles were built in 2011-2012 to lengthen 31 Class 390 sets to 11-cars.
