As was said in comments section, it's going to be a challenge to keep the signal going given how patchy 3g/Mobile signals can be on the Pendolinos.

Indeed,was thinking similarly
Dont you think the set involved willhave a very enhanced signal system onboard it for this event .
Major delays tonight due to signalling problems between Crewe and Stoke, made worse by the line through Stafford being closed
Virgin Trains have now updated their Delay/Repay scheme to automatically pay compensation automatically in cash.
Yesterday my train was 17 minutes late into Euston. This morning I had an e-mail telling me that I was to get £5.28 in compensation and this afternoon it was sent to my bank.
Some TOC's under the delay repay will fall over eventually , it wont happen straight away but it will happen.

Fall over? What does that mean?
The regime of Delay Repay is going to be penal to some operator's especially the longer distance operators like the former inter city routes .
All that delay repay does is cause there to be arguments probably at controller level between Network Rail and the train operating companies . it doesn't fix the root cause of the delay.
Oh what a 12 hours Virgin Trains have had .

Then this morning an overnight engineering possession was late in being given up and a freight train failure
