Carriage Numbers website

[ValleyLines142]

Afternoon,

When I'm spotting, particularly in London where many trains are frequent and in multiple formation, I usually just jot down the carriage numbers of a train and then find out the unit numbers later on when I'm home. I sometimes do not get the chance to see the full unit number.

I usually use www.railuk.info but there has been a problem recently and the website owner has said that due to changes in the hosting company most pages are not working and that it'll take a very long time to get the site working again.

Does anybody know of any alternative sites?

Thanks

The main one I use is trainlogger, although the free version does not allow you to see the formations of individual units if you enter the coach number in the search bar on the top right it will take you to the units individual page.

Spotlog is handy for this as you can input the coach number and it will automatically find the unit number it relates to

Thank you both! Much appreciated.

Do either of these apps work also if looking for allocations of a specific unit?

No mate, they are both primarily for logging numbers of locos/units etc. The modern day pen and notepad, some would say

No such thing exists publicly.

I use the archived version of the old ABRail site. Although it is a snapshot in January, it is useful for the older units where the carriage numbers don't relate to the set number.

There are of course pocket books as well to help with these things, which might (or might not!) be more than adequate for your requirements.
