Makes sorry reading when you consider that a few years ago, you could nearly double that list. More surprising was the amount, or lack of, 09's in active use.

08786 - Wembley T&RSMD
Sorry to be pedantic, but this one is in Wembley Yard - it alternates shunting duties there with 08904.

I wasn't quite sure, so i thought i'd risk putting it down as in the depot complex. Wembley, for me, is a bit obscure, cause it's a place i don't visit very often.
If you have any info on shunter movements around the area, please don't hesitate on posting them.
I've now updated the list.
Thanks very much

The spare 08 is usually behind all those 56s when walking across to relieve trains.

Had a quick check this morning
08786 is Wembley Yard pilot at present and 08904 is the spare. The latter is buried in the middle where it can' t be seen at the moment, the spare loco is usually visible down the south end, but has probably been evicted from it's usual spot by a load of ex Rover "cube" wagons!
08934 has been outside the HRD / Wagon works at Stonebridge Park all week but was not there this afternoon. It might have been put inside or brought back up to the main Carriage Shed for the weekend.
