What actually happened to it?

It came off lease from FGW and went into storage, along with a dozen or so others. All others returned to service after conversion to day coaches, other than this one.

If you're referring to the incident at Neville Hill in November 2009, the vehicle involved in that was 40729 which is still at Neville Hill as far as I'm aware.
