47472 ran into the bay at the west end of platforms 8 & 9 at Reading station, colliding heavily with 47533. The damage sustained by both machines was not as extensive as that incurred by many examples that had earlier been repaired following collisions and derailments, however both 47472 and 47533 were subsequently withdrawn and cut-up following this incident.
