Class 66 Container Train At Melton Mowbray

[sharpley]

Hope this is the right place to post this enquiry.

There has been a fully loaded container train + an unknown class 66 parked on the Melton Mowbray Up Loop for over a day now. The loco is at the 'Down' end of the rake (at the Melton station end) and has a flashing tail light on it, so I guess either the loco has been run around or the whole train did a reversing manoeuvre onto the loop. Any ideas whats up with it? Faulty? Its a red 66 so assume its DB but can't get near to get a number.

Cheers

Not sure if it is the same train but 4M34 Felxstowe - East Mids Gateway shows in the system as arriving at Sileby at 0527 on Saturday worked by 66128. Might the loco have run round the train and taken it back to Melton ?
Train shows passing Frisby 61 early then Syston East 0739 126 late but then a manual report of 0527 Sileby 13 early.

Thanks for the reply. Guess it might be that. I noticed it there midday Saturday and it was still there this afternoon. I live in Melton and have never seen anything parked up in either loop for any length of time. This up loop is often used to reverse stuff in and out of Old Dalby.
