#Ancona 🇮🇹 yard in Autumn 2004: this is #FS #ETR.401, built in the 1970s and, it seems, the world’s first #Pendolino tilting train in revenue earning service. The unit is being preserved as museum stock, I think.
The technology has since been widely used to increase running speed, and to reduce centrifugal force, when travelling through curves.

Buongiorno !
Voyage d'études à #Savigliano. Je teste l'objet d'études dès mon départ ;)
#Kotimatka on pitkä. Tai ainakin tuntuu siltä ainakin kun on väsynyt ja haluaisi pian perille. #Pendolino kulki tällä kertaa lähes ajoissa, vain pari–kolme minuuttia myöhässä. #Mjuna #Nokia'lle lähti tasan aikataulussa. #VR:llä on jopa parempi päivä kuin minulla on ollut (aamulla kaatuivat ensimmäiset #kahvi-jauhot lattialle, #perkele näillä hinnoilla). #kotijuttuja #miehenelämää #joukkoliikenne #venaarauhassa
Ciekawa historia związana z rewolucyjną technologią #APT, protoplastą #pendolino. Wszystko zaczęło się w #GreatBritain... #rail #kolej #history

The first person to be punished was a journalist from the largest #Polish portal on the first day of the trains' operation. And did you know that the Polish #Pendolino is the only Pendolino in the world without a pendolino? 😂 2/2 #kolej #rail #bahn @pkpintercitypdp.bsky.social
Today, #Poland is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the #Pendolino trains. Few people remember that at the beginning there was a fine of PLN 650 (EUR 150) for traveling without a previously purchased ticket. 1/2

Alstom reaches major milestone in refurbishing Avanti’s Pendolino bogies http://dlvr.it/TD9vSm #Alstom #AvantiWestCoast #Pendolino #RailNews
One thing about this Pendolino is the ability for stuff to fall off the table. Keep losing my pen. Which reminds me of this comment from Private Eye magazine regarding the APT in 1981:
“Waiter, have you seen my sausage roll?”
“Yes Sir, it’s the tilt mechanism”
#Railway #Pendolino
Quite happy about this shot I got in #Trencin...
SuperCity Pendolino Košičan!
#Gliwice! And a #Pendolino through the window :-)
I admit, 05:00 - 00:00 is a bit of a stretch...
A picture taken while at #Helsinki 🇫🇮 station in August 2018: this is a Finnish #VR #Alstom Class #Sm6 #Allegro high-speed #Pendolino trainset, bound for #SaintPetersburg 🇷🇺. This service came to a halt in spring 2022, as a consequence of #Russia’s aggression against #Ukraine 🇺🇦.
Et on rentre! #Milano - #Lausanne avec #EC32 via #Simplon #Sempione
Content de voir que c'est la version Suisse de l'ETR610 😜
A bit like with #Pendolino, you need to find the right angle with a #ETR700 #Fyra to be able to imagine it going fast 😅
