History
Introduced in July 2002 for high-speed electric passenger services, 53 eight/nine-car Class 390 units were initially built for use on the WCML on lease from Angel Trains. These were transferred from Virgin Trains to Avanti West Coast in December 2019. Another four of the tilting sets were added between 2010 and 2012.
From 2012, 31 of the original units were increased to 11-coach sets, including set No. 390121, which in 2021, was decorated in a special ‘Ride Against Climate Change’ livery to mark Cop26 – the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow.
