Not that I know of, I assume you mean passenger stock.
It would be difficult in areas where a few TOCs operate with a variety of stock. Give it a few years when there's much less variety and it could happen.

Is there any kind of map which tells you what rolling stock operates on which routes, even for a small area?
Avanti's map lists the stock used on each route (although I have seen exceptions such as Voyagers in Piccadilly)
TfW can be inferred from their Fleet Guide which shows maps for each class.
Not aware of any other maps but there are probably some.

That TfW fleet guide is very informative - although it does suggest class 150s can run all the way from Llandudno to Porthmadog - I was at Tan y Bwlch last week and it was still 2ft gauge then, and as far as I am aware none of the TfW fleet have been fitted with gauge-changing apparatus

Indeed that is something I noticed with it, also shows a 197 for 756's picture

Errors notwithstanding, that is a cracking fleet guide. I wonder if the person who commissioned it frequents these forums? o_O

This got me thinking, I suspect a map where (like Excel filters) you can click on a class and it shows up on a UK map would be workable. Would be a bit of but with the help of the community it could be a useful resource. In bad news, I'm not good at design but if anyone needs a spreadsheet to log it all, I could help with that.

I wonder if it isn't just a random error, and they have plans to extend the line, and someone just released their part of the information earlier than they should have (with it being in the works for a while, hence the 150s).

That could be done with @BenW390Fan and his U.K. rail database.
