Railway Facts
Trains of the Future

The future for trains is exciting! Great Britain has the fastest growing railway network in Europe and the number of people using the train is expected to keep growing. Trains of the future will carry more passengers and go at faster speeds than ever before. 

Futuristic Trains

The new 4th generation Pendolino tilt trains, the newer version of the ones used by Virgin Trains, will be able to carry up to 638 passengers and could be able to reach speeds up to 275kph!
