390002 passed Cathiron with 1A39, the 13:35 from Manchester Piccadilly to London Euston, on 30 August 2019. Virgin's tenure as the operator of long distance services on the WCML was coming to an end and the unit would soon lose its red vinyls and Virgin branding. The franchise passed to Avanti just over three months later.
