I don’t know if this is the right thread for my problem:

I find it really difficult to find timetable data for any days in the past. Neither on nationalrail.co.uk, realtimetrains.co.uk (although they do save old data but it’s difficult to find it) or brtimes.com can I select dates more than a few weeks ago.

I would like to find out where the Thameslink train that I took from Elephant & Castle to Blackfriars on Saturday, the 15th of April 2017 came from and went to and – if possible – what its headcode was. If this helps, the unit that worked the service was 319426 and the arrival at Blackfriars was at around 1925.

Thanks to anyone who can help :)

This is a job for tomorrow but I'll probably forget so I'll post it now...

What units are on the Lancaster-Barrow shuttles tomorrow; specifically the 1001 LAN-BIF and 1715 BIF-LAN?

Many thanks in advance :)

Thank you very much! If I might ask, how did you find out? Is that public?

Edit: I just see that this service is still running every Saturday, but say this wasn’t the case (e.g. with VAR or STP services), would I still be able to find them somewhere?

I know there's a paid site - http://www.freightlocate.co.uk - that would allow you to do this. Would not provide unit / loco numbers though. Perhaps, someone else knows other options?

Closest thing I can find is this, but for some reason on RTT (and TRUST) there's no timing reports for it after Hereford - although not showing cancelled and is a Colas timber train that would've gone through Nantwich about the right time (half ten). Cannot see any other freights going through Nantwich around then (unless something was diverted).

It was Colas 70814 on 6M51

Hi All

I found another gap in my notes and it's a month ago so I'm hoping someone can help.

I'm after which 319 was on 2F60 18:32 Liverpool Lime Street - Wigan North Western on 6th June 2017

Cheers

I was on it - previous train cancelled = double load of pax and no aircon - wonderful, that's why I forgot to get the no, just glad to get off.

Thanks for that! Baglan Bay - Chirk timber. Could tell it was Colas from the livery and could tell it was timber from the smell which lingered long after its passing ...
