I often wonder the logic in headcodes.
London to Norwich are 1Pxx, Norwich to Yarmouth is 2Pxx unless via Reedham when its 2Cxx and Lowestofts are 2Jxx. East Suffolk trains are 2Dxx and Felixstowe is 2Rxx. None make any sense.
At least Sheringhams are 2Sxx.
Likewise. I assumed there would be some, but there isn't it seems (not on TL anyway)!I often wonder the logic in headcodes.

We do on the Great Northern...
2Pxx for Peterborough calling semi-fast
1Pxx for Peterborough fast to Stevenage
2Cxx for Cambridge semi-fast
1Cxx for Cambrige fast to Stevenage
2Rxx for Royston semi-fast
1Rxx for Royston fast... you get the idea now?
We then have some that are not quite obvious, such as
1Txx for Kings Lynn/Ely/non-stop to Cambridge
2Jxx for all stations from Hertford North
2Kxx for all stations from Welwyn Garden City
2Uxx for all stations from Letchworth via Hertford
2Bxx for all stations to Hertford North
2Vxx for all stations to Welwyn Garden City
2Fxx for all stations to Letchworth via Hertford
Obviously these may change during the peaks (i.e. 1Pxx can terminate at Huntingdon, 2Uxx can start at Stevenage) but it gives a rough guide of where they're going at each junction and crossover to the signaller hopefully!

On the Brighton and Sutton Loop trains, odd numbers are southbound, even numbers are northbound.
Unless it's changed in the December timetable (haven't checked every headcode in the new one), that's not actually true. Mostly it is but some trains don't follow this pattern. For example the the 12 car trains off Brighton in the evening peak used to be (prior to Dec) 1W94, 1W95, 1W90.
So you are confirming what he said, the way I read it.

You'll find a list of area codes in the Working Timetable index for each area, which are on the Network Rail website.

Unfortunately there isn't an index to the areas, each of which is denoted by a two-letter code where the first letter is that of the former Regional planning office responsible. We eventually find that CF is the correct area and the CF index file gives C as Cumbria.
Which we could probably have guessed anyway.
Ah, I see your 1W95.
It's the even numbers you gave either side of it that confused me.
