Coventry Platform 1 at 12:30

On Wednesday night at 12:30am I walked across the bridge that spans over the Birmingham facing line of Coventry, I looked over and on Platform One there was a unit with it's lights on, but as far as I know there is no unit booked at that time? Was this just stabled? (I'm fairly sure it was a Desiro)

Sure it was 1 ?? I know they tend to leave one in 4 overnight if they can.

When you say with lights on do you mean headlights, or internal lights?

If it is headlights then it might have been shunting or if left on the running line then the markers might have been left on because of this, if it was internal light I know some toc's leave them on all night.

Just looked and there is a 00:15 arrival that terminates, so it might have been heading to cov sidings.

Sidings looked full and all the signals upon the approach were red.

Only saw the red externals, as if it were setting down then heading to Rugby, but it didn't look like ithad/was going to move for a while.

A late reply as I've only just joined & probably of no interest now, but I had to put my first post somewhere
The 00:15 arrival from Birmingham (2C37) stables in the station to work 5I02 0555 to B'ham Inter the next day during weekdays. Four other Desiros stable in Coventry Yard.
