Talk:New Pendolino

Latest comment: 7 years ago by 1990'sguy in topic Two German articles for this one?

Additional orders 2011 and 2012 edit

20 New Pendolino trainsets. The seven-car trains for PKP Intercity will be designed for a maximum speed of 250 km/h, but will not be equipped to tilt. Each train will be able to carry 402 passengers.

They will be fitted with ERTMS as well as Polish, Austrian, Czech and German signalling systems, and will be able to run under 3 kV DC, 15 kV 16·7 Hz and 25 kV 50 Hz electrification.

SBB ordered eight more New Pendolino tilting trains in July 2012. Equipped to operate under 15 kV 16·7 Hz, 25 kV 50 Hz and 3 kV DC electrification, the seven-car ETR610 trainsets will have a maximum speed of 250 km/h and 8° tilt. --KaPe (talk) 16:52, 28 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

ETR610 Pendolinos under construction Railway Gazette, 20 Sep 2013
Testing is scheduled to begin in Germany in May 2014, followed by acceptance runs in Italy and Switzerland and the handover of the first two trains to SBB by the end of 2014. SBB intends to put the additional trains into service on the Gotthard corridor to Milano in early 2015.

Two German articles for this one? edit

At the top of the infobox of this article, it states that New Pendolinos are designated as "ETR 600 / 610" at least in Italy. However, there are two german articles, one for the de:FS ETR 600 and for the de:Alstom ETR 610. But this article only links to the first. A mistake, something else? --1990'sguy (talk) 14:34, 15 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
