Class 170s are timed as class 158
No it isn't showing that. Realtime trains does not show what type of train is allocated.Real time trains is showing this as a Class 158 Express Sprinter. Have TPE loaned some?
No they aren't, 158s are DMU E 090, 170s are DMU E 100.
Real Train Times said:Operational Information
Schedule from CIF
Timed for 100mph
Class 158 (Express Sprinter) DMU
175s are DMU E 100, but I know several services booked for 175s are timed as 158s.
I'm afraid 170s are timed as 170s on all regular TransPennine routes they cover - they would only ever be timed as DMU(E) or DMU(S) if they were off a normal route and there were no official 170 SRTs available. I have no idea where the 158 notation on realtime trains has come from.
The CIF file specification states that DMU E represents a Class 158 DMU.
DMU Type Codes :
Diesel Mechanical Multiple Units (Air Brake):
A Class 14x series 2-axle
E Class 158
N Class 165/0
S Class 150, 153, 155 or 156
T Class 165/1 or 166
V Virgin Voyager Class 220/221
X Class 159
Tom, I understand that bit - my puzzlement is that the 170s are timed in Network Rail's TPS as 170s, not as DMU(E), so I don't understand where in the data transfer process this gets mixed into the data that goes over to real time trains.
