In 2006, 390029 was 'decorated' with vinyls to mark the release of the film 'Superman Returns'. In this guise it is pictured passing Watford (near Northampton) with the 14:45 Manchester Piccadilly to Euston Virgin West Coast service on 21 September 2006. I'm not sure whether its an improvement or not, but from a distance it definitely looks like a graffiti attack by vandals!
