	British Rail Class 390 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Class 390 no. 390029 "City of Stoke-on-Trent" at Birmingham New Street on 24th September 2003 with a service to Wolverhampton.
		The Class 390 is the fastest domestic electric multiple unit operating in Britain, (only the Anglo/French Eurostar being faster), with a top speed of 225km/h (140mph), although limitations of the signalling systems limit the units to a maximum speed to 125mph.
		The Rail Safety and Standards Board's inquiry into the event identified a software glitch in the wheel slip regulation system whereby the train's friction brakes were inhibited at low speeds after a prolonged coasting (such as that encountered on the approach into a station).

	PTP Digest 2003
		The fact is that the light rail service introduced in this sprawling southwestern metropolis five years ago is widely viewed as a solid success, not only by the people who ride it but by a business community that has benefited hugely from its stimulus.
		The spreading appetite for rail is whetted by a regional/commuter service, Trinity Railway Express, that will connect Dallas and Fort Worth by the end of this year, and in its incomplete phase is already carrying more than 4,000 riders a day.
		Light rail is so slow and inconvenient that no light-rail system in the country carries more people per mile than two-thirds of a freeway lane.
