Notes : Whilst working as the Wolverhampton steel terminal pilot, 08714 suffered faults, which resulted in it being stored WNTR on the 28th June 2004. The next day, it left for Bescot, being taken the short distance by road. With repairs completed, the EWS liveried 08 was reinstated to traffic on the 25th August, transferring to the WSGW fleet pool. The same morning, it left the West Midlands by road, being deposited at Margam, early evening. Sometime in September, it transferred pools, moving to the South Wales shunter hire fleet ( WRGW. )
Latterly at Westbury, it was transferred to Margam for repairs on the 13th December 2007.
After completion, sometime in early February 2008, 08714 had turned up at Newport ADJ, where it stayed until the 26th June. Due to the arrival of 08770 at ADJ, 08714 was taken away by road and deposited at Wolverhampton Steel Terminal, arriving in the Black Country on the 27th June. Taken away by road on the 18th December, 08714 left the West Midlands, deposited at Marcroft Engineering, Stoke on Trent, later in the day.
