It looks like the investigation is looking at points failure. However, when I came up on a Pendolino nine days ago, there appeared to be some problem with the rear bogey in the front carriage. I was sat right above this and the suspension seemed to have gone completely, so that every time we passed over points there was a massive cracking sound and a judder. I've been travelling on these trains every 2/3 weeks for a few years now so I estimate I've been on most of the Virgin fleet and this is the first time I've experianced 'owt like this.
