The new liveried Virgin Voyager (221101) has been released into traffic. If anyone knows what it’ll be working today that’d be great

You can also put a headcode into the search box in RTT and it will bring up a list of trains with that ID.

I never knew that as I only use RTT on my phone. A quick change to desktop view has shown me where the search box is and that will definitely help me on occasion where I can see something on Traksy but then can't find it on RTT. Thanks for that information FGW :)

During a quick visit to Liverpool yesterday (Monday 15th) I glimpsed a 66 at Edge Hill on a biomass around half one.
It should be the
FRGT 0954 Drax Aes (Gbrf) to Liverpool Biomass Tml Gbf
If anyone can help with the loco, thanks.

If you access RTT Advanced Search (as a webpage, not app) on your phone you can also type the headcode in the search box there (instead of the location)

That's what I did earlier as I thought that's what FGW meant. Can you also put headcodes into the location box?

I never knew that either, that’s why I was using the search box, so ‘thanks’ too. <:D

Just tried it. Even works in the mobile Web browser :) That's good to know, thanks @TimboM

No worries...

One thing to note - I believe it looks for the headcodes within the current 24 hour day - so for example if you search "1S25" now (just past midnight) it comes up with the service departing Euston Wed 17th evening; not the one running right now (whereas searching 1S25 before midnight came up with tonight's working...).

Also of course as RTT uses scrambled headcodes, you'd need to use those (if known) for the majority of non-GBRf freight real headcodes won't return a result I don't think.

@scotrail170407

43002 is on 1A79, due Reading at 11.50 (where it is currently planned to terminate)
43185 was on 1A06 which was terminated at Bristol TM so either still there or back on SPM

Do you know which services the two will work later today? Really want to see them as it’s my last day here in Reading today
