I have recently joined Railcam.uk which i enjoy using because i get to see trains coming in and going out but what am i on there for, is it just to see the trains and getting the numbers? There is a chat room but i dont understand what they are saying about trains. I say to them, theres 4M45...

1M15 is passing Crewe cam 4, what does that mean? I just want to learn about headcodes. I know that the first number tells you whether it's a freight or a passenger train. So 1 means it's a passenger train but i don't know what the rest means. Everytime i log on to railcam.uk can i go to...

I have just joined Railcam.uk so i have been watching the cameras at Crewe mainly. Theres a timetable telling you what's due in and out, their headcodes and various information. I dont use realtime trains anymore. What fascinates me are headcodes, can you explain headcodes simply please...

When i look at realtime trains i see the times trains come in but how do i know when freights are coming in? i've looked in detailed view, thats even more confusing, what is ZZ, AT, NT, LM? Also where can i find out their numbers, whether they are 66, 390 or 175?? i saw someone had typed...

Hi my name's Ash and I live in north Wales. I'm disabled and use a wheelchair. I have recently started watching the crewe webcam on youtube and I like watching trains coming in and going out. I go onto realtime trains.com to find what's coming in at certain times, I look at Crewe station...

im more confused now, WHAT? :-) I have seen trains going through Bangor station, they are, Arriva 175, 158, then there's Virgin 221. The three numbers indicate what? For example 175 is that the class? Would that be the same for all DMU'S having three numbers telling you what the class is...

Hi my name is Ash and i live in north wales. I'm disabled and use a wheelchair and i want to go somewhere to watch and take photos of trains. How do i know what class train is coming in so i know before going to a station? How do you take photos of trains/locos? do you know the class...

Hi im Ash from north wales. I want to go to Holyhead station to photograph trains and their numbers. How would i do this and also how would i know what time certain trains come in?

I want to go to Holyhead station with my camera to photograph the incoming and outgoing trains. Here is my thought, if i go on realtime trains to see what trains i want to look at are coming in and get to the station before that time. Then take photos with also the numbers. Does that...

Hi i haven't posted in a while, got the rail bug again. I went to Holyhead station the other day to have a look around the platforms and i went to see what the view was like at the end of platform 2. I felt so comfortable thee waiting for trains to arrive and depart, the Virgin 221103 was...

im looking at Valley Nuclear Electric, am i right in thinking that it gets into Chester at 1643, from Valley NuclearElectric, going to Crewe Coal Sidings, leaving Crewe at 1702. Am i right? What's UDG for the platform?

so Liverpool Euro Metal arrived at Crewe at 0004 at platform 5 going to Kingsbury arriving there at 0006????? Have i got that information right, is it the same then for every loco on the list but different times and destinations??

what do the 2 columns mean, it says in first column plan arr, act arr, origin, Liverpool Euro, platform 5, then there's the destination column, im confused.
