    When driving my AWC pendolino from EUS to BNS, all the time at random moments the brake pressure cylinder goes up and stops my train. This is really frustrating me and does anyone know how to stop it?

    Sound like you are going over the line speed - the unit will apply the brakes when doing so.
    or you have not reset a Alerter alarm - again the brakes will apply

    The - rather poor - manual says on page 24
    Alerter.

    The Alerter is a system used on some trains to ensure that the driver has seen a signal.
    If the alert sounds (a black/yellow striped symbol is shown on the Driver's display), this must be acknowledged by pressing the Alerter button or the emergency brakes will be applied.
