I passed Plasser West Ealing on the Greenford flyer today at 1 pm and it looked like 75008 or possibly 75009 was in the yard outside the works. As 75008 was reported at Stoke on Trent on 16/3/19 I could speculate that the one in the yard was a different one. 66.546 was also stabled in the yard just on a delivery or takeaway.

The 2nd machine (of an order of 4) was delivered to the UK a couple of weeks ago.
So you probably saw the 2nd machine, 75009, at Ealing for "connecting up" and commission, and 75008 is at Stoke.

I think 75009 arrived at Plasser on evening of 7th March.
