Tracks Types TID L_SYSTEM

[Legolash2o]

I have just received some information from Network Rail about tracks so that I can plot the tracks onto a map.

It contains information such as L_SYSTEM (either M or K) and TRID (i.e. 1100, 1101, 1102, 1600, 1901, 3100, 9999 etc..) and was wondering if anyone had a clue to what they are?

The closest thing I found was this thread:
https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/line-id.28607/

1100 - Up Main
2100 - Down Main
3100 or 3400 - Single (Reversible)
1150 and 2150 are the Up and Down Electrics/Suburbans out of Liverpool St, not sure if this applies elsewhere to slow lines

Thanks.

Yep they are track IDs.
Each line has an ELR (Engineers Line Reference) and a track ID - as in the thread you have mentioned above.

Is there a source to find out what each number means?

Just an update.

I put in a FOI for the information and they sent a table. L_SYSTEM K or M stands for Length System which is either Kilometres or Miles.

Look here for the meaning of ELRs: http://www.railwaycodes.org.uk/elrs/elr0.shtm (and then sub-pages according to first letter).
