You know those text services that claim to know everything?

Well, this one offers you 1 completely free text.

http://www.aqa.63336.com/index.htm

I just asked it what class of train the Mon-Fri 6X77 was.

...AND IT KNEW!

Please, we must find something that it won't know!

Questions asked so far
Q. What class of train is the Mon-Fri 6X77?
A. The Mon-Fri 6X77 is a Class 92. It was introduced in 1993 and 46 of the units were built. They were manufactured by Brush Traction and ABB Traction.

Q. How many Phase 1 Class 37s were built?
A. 119 'phase 1' class 37 locomotives were built. 309 units were made in total. Those numbered higher than 37270 are deemed to be phase 2 locos.

Q. What type of transplant can help juvenile idiopathic arthritis??
A. Juvenile Idiopathic Arthiritis can be treated with autologous stem cell transplantation. The treatment can induce a drug free remission of the disease.

Q. What is the current location of 37314 'Dalzell'?
A. 37314 'Dalzell' (prev. 37190) is currently on the Midland Railway, Butterley, a heritage line in Derbyshire, and is painted in BR Blue Large Logo livery.

Q. Is Julian Whitby a stoat?
A. Julian is not a stoat but is in fact a weasel. A stoat is basically a short tailed weasel that grows bigger than a traditional weasel.

Q. Can you name the two current owners of the Little Red Train, and all of the past and present volunteers?
A. Daniel Hill and Adrian Allum have owned the Little Red Train since 2003. It was built by Fred Blois. Helpers include Matt, Martin, Stephen & Chris.

6X77 is an Enterprise freight and as Gizmogle has already pointed out, it runs from Wembley-Mossend. Motive power is normally a class 92 but I believe class 66s and 67s have worked it in the past. On some occasions the train may convey locos such as EWS class 37s which normally are heading back up North after Railtours such as the Buffer Puffers which use EWS 37s

Well done Mojo :D

We need to try and find some solid time irrelevant fact that it won't know though.

Do you have loads of mobile phones, or are you paying for all this?!

This is my second one. I'm using my Mum's phone and another email address.

Hahaha, 40 mins and they've still not got back to me. It should all be on the Little Red Train website. But yeah, they seem to be struggling!

Ohhh impressed with the history and livery knowledge, but sadly they got the location wrong. It's currently at the Great Central Railway, Loughborough, and has been since April :p

People are actually paid to do this. They have vacancies, but none in the UK unfortunately :(
