The British Rail Class 390 Pendolino is a type of electric high-speed passenger train operated by Avanti West Coast in Great Britain, leased from Angel Trains. They are electric multiple units, using Fiat Ferroviaria's tilting train Pendolino technology and built by Alstom. Fifty-three eight-car units were originally built between 2001 and 2005 for operation on the West Coast Main Line (WCML). The trains of the original batch were the last to be assembled at Alstom's Washwood Heath plant, before its closure in 2005. The trains were subsequently extended to nine cars in the mid-2000s. Some trains were lengthened further to 11 cars in the 2010s, being renumbered as the subclass 390/1. An additional batch of four 11-car trains were built in Italy. The Class 390 Pendolino has a design speed of 140 mph (225 km/h); however, limitations to track signalling systems restrict the trains to a maximum speed of 125 mph (200 km/h) in service. The fleet is maintained at Longsight TMD near Manchester Piccadilly station.
