Hi,

Can anyone help out with a headcode for this one please:

6E24 1717 Liverpool Biomass Tml Gbf to Drax Aes (Gbrf)

It ran yesterday 16/08 and I saw it pass Rainhill at 1856.

I think it was a coal train. The loco was 66777 and it said Drax on the side of the wagons.

Thanks

Saperstein.

Additionally, if it is a GBrF service, then the headcode is never 'scrambled' ;)
Senior moment :D

It would have been a biomass train, which are wood pellets imported from USA and transported to Drax for electricity generation by burning. The hoppers are specially built and used for nothing else.
