Any way to see WTT for a specific location?

[swaldman]

I live near the Edinburgh Suburban Line, which is not in passenger use but sees a fair bit of traffic. I'm always intruiged, when I hear a train go past, as to what it is and where it's going.

I'm aware that one can view the working timetable for a given train, if one knows it's code. Is there a way to get similar info for a given location, i.e. all of the trains that are schedudled to pass that spot, preferably with links to those trains' timetables? I'm aware that it wouldn't be the exact spot that I'm at, but could be one a mile or two up the track.

Thanks.

Can't you get the info you want from realtimetrains?

That's what I'd use - advanced search for the given location, date and time.

Ah, so I just need to figure out the name of a location that's unambiguously on that line...

Thanks.

Try searching for Niddrie West Jn or Craiglockhart Jn depending on whether you're nearer to the Newcraighall or Slateford end respectively. You'll need to use the advanced option to let you search for these.

Thanks!
