Previous Numbers : D4134
Status : Active
Current Livery : EWS
Pool Code : WSSN
Notes : Latterly being used as the Plymouth station pilot, 08904 left Laira by road on the 27th April 2004, unloaded at Harwich Parkeston Quay yard the next day.

Previously operating in and around the Wembley yard complex, 08904 was unloaded at Tavistock Junction on the afternoon of the 26th September 2008.

Latterly piloting the yard at Tavistock Junction, late evening on the 17th June 2009, 08904 was loaded onto road transport at Laira T&RSMD, ready for departure to Doncaster Carr. Sometime around mid afternoon the next day, it had arrived in South Yorshire, being deposited at the TMD as expected.

Update: On the 29th June and whilst undergoing a D exam, 08904 was stored WNTS at Doncaster Carr. Following completion of the exam, the 08 left for Wembley on the 19th August, with the EWS liveried 08, being removed by road. On arrival in North London, it was dropped off at Acton, where the 08 was tripped the short distance to Wembley Yard, the next day. As expected, 08904 was reinstated to traffic and the WSSN pool on the 30th August.
