AberdeenBill Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I always thought that an 'S' head-code/reporting number meant an inter-regional service to Scotland?? Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Can't get my head round passenger being class 9 trip freights either. Mind you, having been herded into some of the so called passenger stock these days, pick up goods is an apt description.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted November 2, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 2, 2015 I always thought that an 'S' head-code/reporting number meant an inter-regional service to Scotland?? Bill The world has changed much. 2S13 is a Colne-Blackpool! "3S" denotes a railhead treatment train using Sandite and water. "3J" is a RHTT using just water jets. Class 3 is also used on a lot of test trains. Often 3Qxx for example. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Banger Blue Posted November 2, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 2, 2015 I always thought that an 'S' head-code/reporting number meant an inter-regional service to Scotland?? Bill You are right, if its an Inter-regional working heading into the Scottish Region then S is still used. For internal workings, it will all depend on the specific region, for example (Western Region in the Reading area) 5S98 is an ECS move from Slough to Reading TCD. As for the first number (the train classification) this is the current listing: Class 1 Express passenger train Nominated postal or parcels train Breakdown or overhead line equipment train going to clear the line (1Z99) Traction unit going to assist a failed train (1Z99) Snow plough going to clear the line (1Z99) Class 2 Ordinary passenger train Officers’ special train (2Z01) Class 3 Freight train if specially authorised A parcels train Autumn-railhead treatment train Empty coaching stock train if specially authorised Class 4 Freight train which can run up to 75 mph Class 5 Empty coaching stock train Class 6 Freight train which can run up to 60 mph Class 7 Freight train which can run up to 45 mph Class 8 Freight train which can run up to 35 mph Class9 Class 373 train Other passenger train if specially authorised Class 0 Light locomotive or locomotives Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Banger Blue Posted November 3, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 3, 2015 Are LOROL services in the class 9 headcodes yet? I thought they'd run out of headcodes in London? Cheers, Paul Some LO services are running as Class 9, the other ones I've noticed are some Virgin services on the WCML. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 5BarVT Posted November 14, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 14, 2015 Lovely shots John, but showing my age, I thought that "W" was not an allowed head-code letter Bill As far as I remember it wasn't - because the head code blinds didn't have W (too like V?) nor Q? Once they ceased to be displayed on trains and were only on documentation and in signal boxes such limitations ceased. The limitation was then the TD displays in the box e.g WR panels prior to Westbury and Exeter could only display A B C F E M O V X Z. Paul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Jo mentions the infrastructure trains, Freightliner operated run under a Y head code and Colas operated run using C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
