According to the WNXX website, 08757 is due to leave Acton shortly, after it was placed on decision. It has been out of use for a while now.

Has left Acton by road, deposited at Toton on the 30th August. A move to the compound now looks likely.

"........ Could this be replacing one of the Tidal 08's ......... "
.
Well 08854 'Bradshaw' seems to have been forgotten
.
08782 is still idle at Celsa, Tremorfa (not Tidal as reported elsewhere) apparently stored, awaiting attention.
.
08466 'Brillo' and 08752 'Lenny' I've not seen in action for a while
.
08951 is in daily use, and was playing with the former BRY barrier wagon this afternoon at Tremorfa.
.
There is scope for an additional pilot at Tidal
.
I was told recently that traffic to/from the two Celsa plants Tremorfa & Castle in the first three months of 2009 was up on the same period last year.
.
Siding space is restricted a bit at Tidal, and today the Shipley or Stockton loaded scrap wagons (KEA) were left at Pengam. They cannot be collected by a Tidal pilot as most of the drivers are not passed to leave Tidal.

Informative as always Mr R Wink

So 08757 could well be heading into Wales shortly then.
