If you mean 47299, they actually renumbered it two years before the fatal accident - ostensibly in a vain effort to prevent it!

The story goes that a psychic contacted BR saying that she'd had recurring visions of a fatal train crash involving a blue loco numbered 47216 hauling oil tankers. In 1981, BR renumbered 47216 to 47299; no alternative explanation for the renumbering was ever given. Two years later, 47299, hauling oil tankers, was involved in a fatal crash in Lincolnshire.

Sorry for going O/T here but I do think it's an interesting and curious story.

A more recent example was 91023, which was renumbered to 91132 after two fatal crashes (Hatfield and Great Heck), but that of course wasn't BR.
