Arriving in from Ferrybridge, 08500 was deposited at Toton on the 29th January 2004 for attention and the fitment of the TPWS equipment. Whilst at Toton, on the 5th February, it was put into store. Leaving in the early hours by road, EWS liveried 08500, left the East Midlands on the 29th June, en-route for Scotland. Arriving at Motherwell, it was unloaded at the TMD late evening. The 1st July saw it reinstated to traffic, moving from WSXX to the WSSC pool.

Officially stored at Motherwell TMD on the 14th April 2008. By the 18th April, it was transported by road down to Doncaster Carr TMD, where it currently resides.

Sometime during the latter part of April 2009, 08500 had its TPWS equipment removed at Doncaster Carr.
