The NR WTTs are, unsurprisingly, full of arcane notes (07a45, [1], (1), <1>, etc) - I have a vague idea of what some are, but there's plenty that are totally undecipherable (11OPRM15, for one!). Is there a key hidden somewhere on NR's site, or is there one which someone has bashed together somewhere else? Log in to reply |

There is an index book for every group with the generic name XX00 (e.g. CB00, CC00, CE00 etc). This contains a map of the area covered by the group, the local headcode destination letters, any other relevant local information and the list of References that Peter gives. All available from the National Rail website here.

" said:EWD Runs every week day (Monday to Saturday)Saturday as a weekday? If that's correct, not only is it a bit counterintuitive but then there are two codes which mean the same thing (EWD/SunX), no? Log in to reply |

" said:" said:saturday has always been a "weekday" so there are two timetables, a weekday timetable, which includes SX and SO workings, and a sunday timetable. trains referenced as EWD run everyday apart from sunday. if a train needs to be referenced as running on sunday, its reference is SUN. this only really applies with an overnight train like a 22:00 SUN St Pancras - sheff, which to sheffield would be MO.EWD Runs every week day (Monday to Saturday)Saturday as a weekday? If that's correct, not only is it a bit counterintuitive but then there are two codes which mean the same thing (EWD/SunX), no? SUNX isnt used at all, as if it doesnt run sundays, it isnt included in the sunday timetable "We don't stop camborne wednesdays" Last edited: 12/02/2013 at 10:38 by jc92 Log in to reply The following users said thank you: Josie, TimTamToe |

I feel suitably foolish now. The current WTTs split things up into Weekday/Saturday/Sunday - has NR decided that using Saturday as a weekday is too archaic for them now?

There are a few of us that should feel the same then. It took me weeks to stumble across the information in the Index books and only then because I opened an Index book in error once and scrolled down the pages out of nosiness!
