thread_title: Expanding the geographic scope

message: Can I ask, just how much of the technology was sold to Fiat? I was given the figure of about 90% but none of the wiki pages mentions just how much of a contribution British Rail's system made to Pendolino. Also, am I right in saying that the earlier versions of Pendolino used a gravity based system as opposed to a software based system (hence the name) Pendolino = Pendulum
All I do know is that the APT was almost ready, and given a few more months, the small technical problems would have been sorted - typical of my country.. "It'll never work, it's useless" and "How much is it gonna cost us now??...". We have the best engineers in the world, yet our country never lets them spread their wings - more space in the rest of the world :)

replies: text: It was unsigned at the time the bot signed your post  . You can also tell this by the fact the bot's signature is timestamped before your signature. The bot is not magic and so cannot know you intend to sign your post in the future, and it normally aims to sign posts quickly to avoid problems due to edit conflicts. In fact, it has very, very limited AI, so even if you wrote "I intend to sign later" or you are always doing this, it should wouldn't know you intend to sign later. You can tell it not to sign a specific post, but you have to use the right magicword. Alternatively you can either sign your post when posting, or tell the bot never to sign your posts (see User:SineBot#Singleperson)) if this is a problem. And after you have 800 posts, the bot will automatically stop signing yours posts, unless you tell it to. Finally you should feel free to remove the signatures added by the bot if you later sign. (On some occasions, if you are editing your post you may get a hidden edit conflict, so you probably want to check that after you edit.) Nil Einne (talk) 19:29, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  BR sale of tilt technology to Fiat 

message: I've seen that Virgin Trains advertise the fact that their Pendolino trains use regenerative brakes, feeding the power back into the national grid.  How common is this?  Does it deserve a mention in the article, or do all modern trains use regenerative braking? --StuartBrady (Talk) 15:12, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Regenerative braking 

message: I recently removed the following text because it appeared to be original research.  The author claims that he has it "on good authority from Italians" and would like it to be re-instated.  However, I can find no independent verification for the claims and the current manufacturers' brochure  clearly states that the name derives from the tilting mechanism.  Since it's unverified at the moment, I'm placing it here for discussion.
Please note, there is a lot of confusion about this. Think about a pendulum - it swings in an arc, suspended from its top point. That is the opposite of the tilting of a train - the top of the train moves through an arc whilst the bottom stays fixed. Also think about a pendulum - it swings steadily from side to side, accellerating through its journey then stopping at each side before commencing its journey back. Just like a SHUTTLE train in fact, going backwards and forwards between - for instance - Rome and Milan. This is where the word pendolino originated. The word "pendolismo" is the Italian for "commuting". Many of the shuttle trains are indeed now tilting trains, but by no means all of them. So on two counts, the metaphor of a pendulum is contrary to the motion of a tilting train - (a) the tilting trains are upside down pendulums and (b) they don't swing rhythmically from side to side - luckily for the passengers who would otherwise be seasick!
Unfortunately, Virgin trains have now branded their tilters as "pendolinos" and therefore we are saddle with an inappropriate and unthought-out metaphor for the foreseeable future.

replies: text: Seems a bit shabby, especially considering the manufacturer's brochure clearly contradicts the claim that the name isn't be based on the word "pendulum". In any case, if a source is provided this section would definately need to be heavily rewritten - I'm a at loss as to what the original authoer actually meant. -- Kjet 12:19, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If "pendolismo" is the Italian for "commuting", Norwegian pendling means just the same though it originally was used only if the commuter crossed at least one municipality border. By the same way, pendeltog, pendlertog and Swedish pendeltåg means commuting trains. In Norwegian, we do also say e.g. IC-pendelen (i.e. commuting trains in an intercity area).

thread_title:  Origin of name 

message: There are not photos of the original italian pendolinos.. it is quite ironic being the base models for every pendolinos! ;-)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.9.227.246 (talk) 09:26, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  PHOTOS 

message: Ahoj! I reorganized and enlarged the article in order to stress the Italian chapter, which is reasonable as this technology was created there. Thus some descriptive parts which appeared in the Finnish section have been placed in the ETR 460 section, as this train was built before the Sm3. Other things I introduced are a sketchy history of Italian prototypes, revisions of captions, figure sizes etc. --Attilios (talk) 19:12, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Improvements

message: Just the export destinations with the longest and second-longest history were missing: Spain and Germany. I added Spain now, and will add Germany, where Pendolino technology was used in a number of tilting trains, sometime later. --Rontombontom (talk) 14:50, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Still to add

message: is an Italian family of tilting trains used in (list of countries) and shortly in Romania and Poland. Poland of course is right, but I never heard of a Romanian Pendolino order ? I think it would also be too far away for the Polish units to operate, so also that seems unlikely. I think we can safely remove this in the list of mentioned countries. --Btrs (talk) 18:14, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
