Presumably on hire to cover the 57/6 overhaul programme (unless anyone knows differently) 57313 has worked the sleepers to Penzance overnight / this morning. Appeared to be ATW blue without branding but hard to tell in the dark.

You're correct unless it has been painted in the last month or two. WCR have repainted at least one of the ex-ATW 57s into their maroon livery, but 57313 and 57316 - the two which had the bland all-over blue livery, not the two-tone ATW WAG scheme - hadn't been touched when I saw them in daylight late last year.
57313 and 57316 remain in ATW Blue
57314 and 57315 are in WCRC Maroon (have been since the summer)
57603 encountered power problems on the down sleepers this morning east of Plymouth, an OZ79 1250 Old Oak Common to Penzance is now due to run although it hasn't left yet. No idea what loco it is at this stage, 57313 would be nice again. 57602 was apparently on 1A40 on Sunday night.
