Good evening all,
Beware, this is quite a request that I am not sure is even possible to answer, but I'm going to give it a go anyway!
Recently, I have begun ticking off all the passenger trains I have 'cleared' and there are a few that the identity has escaped me. Now, luckily I still have the tickets and various details of the actual services I was on and wondered if anyone knew (or kept record) of what actually ran this service.
As I said, a long shot at best, but I thought I had better ask before dismissing it as impossible!
The first was on the 27 June 2007, I was on a service from Crewe to Leominster and as the ticket has been marked, the service was 1O88. If memory serves, it was a Class 150.
Next one, on the 29 June 2007, I was on the 0947 Hereford - Carmarthen, which was a 175 unit. I do not have the headcode for this one I am afraid. Upon arriving at Carmarthen, I transferred onto a 153, which was heading to Pembroke Dock (I got off at Tenby) but have no details as to which unit or service it was, but I do remember it was around midday.
Final one now, it was 6 July 2007, I was on the 1329 from Llanelli to Hereford, which again was a 175, but prior to this, I was on a HOW liveried 153 from Pembroke (I got on at Tenby).
I'm not sure if finding out these identities is even possible, but I would be extremely grateful is somebody was able to find out by way of a miracle!
Many thanks in advance, Cammy

Your best bet may be to contact the TOCs (or their current successors) concerned with your queries, and see if there is an outside chance that somebody there might be willing to go through the records, if they exist that far back. I would consider advising them that it is for some sort of half-worthy 'project' or suchlike rather than just for your own spotting records though, they might think it a more valuable use of their time!
