On the 13th January 2004, 08715 arrived at Carlisle Currock by road from Ferrybridge, from where it spent 2 to 3 years inside the C&W workshop at Currock.
08715 was purchased by TJ Thomson's from EWS, around the end of December 2008. After being removed from the WRD at Currock, it spent about a week outside, waiting for road transport to take it to Stockton. On the 6th February 2009, it was finally taken away from Carlisle, being deposited at Thomson's later in the day.

Update: On the 13th February 2009, it finally succumbed to the cutters torch, and was officially scrapped.
