On-board the 16:30 virgin pretendolino from Birmingham New St to London Euston. I noticed, while travelling on this train before going through Kilsby tunnel, the engine, 90020, seems to make some pretty big sparks. So I videoed them! Also includes passing a pendolino inside the tunnel (which did make me jump LOL :) The air holes in Kilsby tunnel can also be clearly seen, its strange seeing pools of sunlight beem onto the track below, halfway through a tunnel. Incase you dont know, Kilsby tunnel is on the fast lines between Rugby and Wolverton. (I say fast lines because, again, if you didnt know, the fast and slow lines split up and the fast lines avoids Northampton, where as the slow turns away to call at Northampton.)
Look out for the video of this train leaving Milton Keynes, that video is taken on the platform, because sadly thats where I had to get off :( 
The engine was EWS liveried 90020.
