Traction & Stock

摘要

Formula 1 motor racing ace Rubens Barrichello has launched the 'Pit Stop' approach used by Alstom to maintain Virgin's fleet of 52 'Pendolinos'.rnThe launch, held at Wembley depot on June 17, just days ahead of Barrichello finishing third in the British GP at Silverstone, demonstrated how the 'Pit Stop' approach ensures the right technician with the right tools and the right parts at the right location when the train arrives on depot for maintenance.rnThe contract that Alstomrnwon to provide 47 'Pendolinos' from the fleet of 52 for each weekday service means that the maintenance has to take place in a restricted 'window' of time overnight.
