Mudkip Orange Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Very nice video showing the operation of a pantograph at speed. You can clearly see the zigzag affect in the overhead which is designed to evenly distribute wear across the pan. Video does not specify location, but based on left-side running and overcast skies I'm going to go out on a limb and guess it's the UK :) Link to comment
westfalen Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 The signal cabin passed early in the video and the style of the signals certainly say UK. Link to comment
the_weird_one Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I'd say UK and probably a Virgin Pendolino as the train given the red paint work around the edges of the roof. Link to comment
Ochanomizu Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 According to the comments posted on Youtube, this was filmed onboard 9-car Class 390 Virgin Pendolino. Interesting thing happens at 1:26 .... change of direction !!! Link to comment
