390 033 Talent Academy, Crewe 22.8.20
On 23 February 2007, a faulty set of points caused 390 033 to derail near Grayrigg in Cumbria. The train, named 'City of Glasgow', formed the 17:15 departure from London Euston bound for Glasgow Central. 115 people were on board, one of whom died from trauma suffered in the crash. The train's excellent crashworthiness was credited with preventing more fatalities.
The train was formally written off on 30 November 2007, owing to the prohibitive cost of repair against the price of a new set. A driving car and carriage from the train were subsequently been put into use for training purposes at the Virgin Trains Talent Academy in Crewe
