Today I saw an Arriva Trains Wales loco at Preston, probably a 57?
What is it doing there and what's next to it, some kind of blue loco..?

What it's doing I don't know because I'd guess it has been freed up by Arriva's use of 3 * 67s on the Holyhead Cardiff.
was it left idling?57314 is the one in the sidings today ( arriva 57)
As Virgin have sole a further 3 57s to DRS, they have taken the ATW ones back so they have enough to be positioned up and down their network as thunderbird locomotives.

They have not been sold, rather returned to Porterbrook who have since leased them to DRS.
