Hello
I am a young trainspotter and was wondering how you get the information about what train is what number and if there are any websites that could tell me that, or if a train headcode indicates what class the train is or will be?
Many Thanks

There isn't anything that lists unit allocations, as this is only for internal railway staff, but sites such as Real Time Trains list all headcodes of services and live running information.

Further to Dan's reply above, there are moves afoot to force the industry to improve the 'openness and transparency'
of rail data, at least on the passenger side of things, including clamping down on the practice of FOCs claiming that
all rolling stock data is 'commercially sensitive' when the vast majority most of it simply isn't!

Until that happens, we have to rely on people who work on the railway posting the data on sites like this one.

Anyone know what did the 16:10 Sheff to Cleethorpes? I THINK it said 185123, and it's the last 185 I need to clear them all!

No date on post; please don’t assume people who can look it up will be looking when you’re posting.

Hi - is anyone able to find out the units that worked 5Z69 Selhurst Depot to Eastbourne this afternoon? It is a VSTP diagram and I'd imagine it's extra capacity for the Airshow, so I'd be interested to know what they're sending down.

Was never consisted. Unless anyone can advise with observations TRUST/TOPS not going to help on this one.

I think TOPS may be wrong for this one. I've just had a look through my notes and 43093 was paired with 43161 on the 10:03 Paddington-Penzance on Saturday (confirmed by sight, and travelled on). That service does form the 15:52 back so it probably wasn't 063 on the rear?
