Hi all. Does anyone know if there are any websites that give loco and unit allocation histories?

Thanks in advance

I don't know of one website for all locos, but class47.co.uk has allocations, names, liveries and more for the 47s. Might take a while to go through it all though.

This is a pretty good site:

Only problem is, it doesn't seem to factor in days when engineering work affect services

shouldn't make any difference, its like the class 91s are under Bounds Green whether the use the normal route or diverted through Ely they are still under Bounds Green

Information on this site seems to be incomplete, especially for re-allocations after the mid 1970s.

If you want full histories, the books by Roger Harris are what you need. "The Allocation History of BR Diesels and Electrics" is produced in 5 volumes, plus 6A and 6B which are updates - although some are out of print. Just Part 1 of the DMU version has appeared to date. Given the amount of data in these books, and length of time it must take to compile it, I can't see anone ever doing a website covering all the data.

The only problem is that the books by Roger Harris are almost impossible to get hold of, and he has refused point blank since 2005 to do another print run of these books. Yes, I know he's entitled to make that decision but it's so frustrating for anybody who has tried to obtain copies for the last 10 years.
