Despite confusion over the future of the Intercity West Coast franchise, Virgin Rail Projects and Alstom Transport continue to make good progress with the programme to extend 31 Class 390 trainsets from nine to 11-car formations. On October 14 No 390 121 began testing in its new 11-car formation, joining 24 lengthened trainsets. The four new Pendolinos, nos 390 154 to 157,have been delivered as 11-car formations.
