Can anyone enlighten me as to why the LNER Highland Chieftain (1200 Kings Cross to Inverness) which was formerly 1S16 is now running as 1W96? Abedeen and Stirling trains also now seem to have W codes but have kept their former sequence numbers. Is it simply a change to alert control staff to the fact that the train continues beyond Edinburgh? Or is it is any way related to the fact that the Scotrail HST training services were run under 2W headcodes?
And why 1W96 rather than 1W16?
