I was passing Huddersfield Station quite late (1am-ish) the other night and noticed that all the stabled units - a 144 in platform 2 and the rest in the sidings beyond platform 8 except one pacer - still had their lights on reds and in some cases the destination blinds still backlit.
Why are they left like this? Wouldn't it make more sense just to turn them off overnight? According to RTT, the last train goes into Huddersfield sidings at 0010 and the first train out of Huddersfield sidings is 0746 so even if those two were the same unit, that's at least 7.5 hours sitting out of use wasting energy.
