Hi all

Was just wondering if a website is available to source wagon number on the move (diagrams)

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for above.

No websites where you can pay to access wagon diagrams then?

That depends on what you actually mean by 'diagrams'?

If you mean the flow(s) a particular number range/pool of wagons
is used on in general, you could try asking on here, although things
like intermodal flats and engineers wagons can be on completely
different workings in different parts of the country from one week
to the next.

If you mean the exact location/allocation of a specific wagon on a given day,
you would need to have a job on the railway with access to TOPS to obtain
that level of detail as it is considered 'commercially sensitive', so it will never
appear on Open Data sites like RTT.


If it helps, my site (Freightmaster) has a dedicated section for wagon info,
but most of the info on there is from sightings rather than TOPS.
