When Virgin Trains took over the Cross Country franchise following privatisation services were operated with a mix of HST and locomotive hauled trains. BR InterCity had arranged for a small fleet of the ETH equiped class 47/4 locomotives to be fitted with additional fuel tanks, these 'extended range' locos being allocated numbers in the 478xx series and most of this fleet transferred to Virgin Cross Country. Virgin operated the class 47s until sufficient of the new design Voyager trains had entered service in 2001, following which many 478 series engines have found employment with new owners.
