Does anybody know where the Class 08 that was recently stabled at Miles Platting (Manchester) is currently being stored while the major engineering works are going in the location? I can't see that its gone that far unless its been low-loaded somewhere as that's how it arrived in the first place.
It was at Miles Platting on 22nd July, stabled at the Miles Platting end of the headshunt for the Tarmac sidings.Don’t know where it’s gone but it was 09009.
Thanks for this!Reported on WNXX that HNRC owned 08578 has been seen on road transport near Worksop having been at Long Marston since Jan 2016
At 0040 on Thursday 12th August, 08578 was reported on the A57 Worksop bypass. Information courtesy of a poster on UK-RailDoes anyone know when 08578 arrived at Worksop? I saw an 08 in EWS livery at the gate on Wednesday and could only see the first three numbers, ‘085xx’ and assumed that it was 08500. Could it be that 08578 was delivered before / on Wednesday?

Purely out of interest, what happened to 08536 after it was stored at Derby for over 12 years. It spent most of that time in a shed building adjacent to the Derby-Nottingham line, but that building was demolished over 10 years ago.
Thanks for the infoAccording to UK Rail Log it's at Goodmans Wishaw, there are also a few pictures of it from earlier this year on Flickr
If it was in the docks area it is more likely to be Cardiff Tidal / Celsa Manufacturing (although there is an EMR in the vicinity as well).There was quite an impressive collection of 08s at what I think was Sims Metals at Cardiff a couple of weeks ago, maybe three or four of them?
Would anyone know the numbers by any chance?

On www.ukraillog.co.uk I have 08389 in EWS livery and 08630 in a Black/Red Celsa livery as being located down that way but I'd be interested to know of any others
Thanks mateIs that your website @The_Train? Looks good.
I was at work with barely any reception today so I couldn’t post these, but I got Mrs C to video it on the way past and I’ve just had a proper look at what we saw.
Actually in the video there’s quite a bit of me saying “The Shunters! The Shunters! Film the Shunters!” and her laughing at me which was rather hurtful…
I think you’re right about the two that you mentioned and that’s probably these two

There was also a grey one there which you can see in this shot:

These are screen grabs though so sorry about the quality.
Thanks mate
I'd say the black and red one will be 08630 but that other looks to be in the Harry Needle orange instead of EWS. Having realised I'd not been checking the 09's I have now found that 09106 is a resident of Cardiff Tidal and is in HNRail Orange livery. My records had it as being under maintenance at Barrow Hill but this was back in February and so it has obviously returned since.
The grey one appears to be 08877. I had this down as being at Springs Branch but I have found a photo of it at Cardiff Tidal a few months ago!
I have to be honest, keeping track of these things is incredibly hard work because whenever they move, they tend to do so by road and so little reporting is done on them. I can at least update the couple of outdated records I had thanks to your sightings and hopefully this helps you to log the ones you've seen - for clarity I believe this to be 08630 (red/black livery), 09106 (HNRail Orange livery) and 08877 (Grey livery)
Seen it confirmed elsewhere that one was 08503 - the other remains a mystery although I have seen 08730 suggested although this was only only moved to Aldershot for filming purposes the other dayCan anyone advise the 2 x 08 that arrived at Tyseley today on low loaders. Been told one was 08503, although this is unconfirmed.
Any info appreciated.

Does it then form this: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R20100/2022-02-21/detailed ?
Did the move happen? Rumoured to be heading to either Marcroft or Longport in StokeReported on WNXX that 08629 is on its way from Leicester to RSS today, no doubt it depends on the weather situation but it's currently scheduled on 1113 0Z08 Leicester LIP to Knighton Jct Sdgs
