Headcodes. Been wondering this for ages.

Out here in the East we have;

1Pxx for the GEML expresses
2Sxx for Bittern Line
2Pxx for Norwich to Yarmouth via Acle
2Cxx for Yarmouth via Reedham
2Jxx for service to Lowestoft
2Dxx for East Suffolk
2Rxx for Felixstowe
1Kxx (2Kxx for stoppers) for Norwich - Cambridge
2Wxx for Ipswich - Cambridge
1Lxx (I think) for Ipswich - Peterborough

Out of interest are class 7 and 8 trains seen that often anymore?

And south of Ipswich towards London on the GEML,

1Pxx For GEML expresses - Norwich - London
1Nxx For Clacton - London
1Yxx Ipswich - London
1Axx Harwich International - London
2Fxx Walton - Colchester Town/Colchester
1Kxx Southend Victoria - London
2Kxx Southend Victoria - London
2Wxx Shenfield - London
2Cxx Gidea Park - London


Missed a few but it's interesting how both Shenfield - London and Ipswich - Cambridge are in the Eastern region and use the GEML but both use 2W (I guess they never get near each other).

Anyone can use Class 9s should they so choose, nothing special about them any more

Isn't that because its an LTS train to Liverpool Street so signallers won't send it down the GEML?
