[virgintrain1]

Does anyone know if there is a website out there that lets you view a map with all the current running trains and their location?

Yes that sort of style but was hoping to view Bristol to Exeter.

 

[Harbornite]

There's also this, but it no longer shows any trains for some reason. http://raildar.co.uk/map/bhm

There's also freightmaster.

Not the area requested but http://easignalmap.altervista.org/#0 is a good one for East Anglia and North London area.

Guildford's covered - see http://www.opentraintimes.com/maps/signalling/guildford

The reason the whole country isn't covered is because I draw every single map by hand and it takes a long time to get them correct.

And I for one say a very big thank you.

Oh wow, thats a fantastic effort. Your site has helped me help passengers find trains when there is disruption and no-one has a clue what is going on.

http://railcam.uk is good for maps and covers a wide area. You'll need to make a donation to view them and this also allows access to a number of webcams.

Is there any sites which also includes the unit number of the train working the service?

I'd be very surprised as this data isn't included in the publicly available data feeds.

http://www.sussextrains.co.uk/ is useful for many Southern routes and the South part of the Thameslink Brighton Mainline network, as well as routes between Reading and Paddington / Redhill. It is run as a paid subscription service, with the exception of the Beta (trial) maps and one randomly-selected map per day as a taster.

And I would also like to say thank you, it is great for me to see when on my commutes, as the maps cover both my Southern and SWT parts.

As is this, well done folks.

I'd be very surprised as this data [Train Number] isn't included in the publicly available data feeds.

I have often wondered this. I can't seem to find a single website which provides this level of detail. My guess is that as this is public information, you could argue that the number or formation is too detailed.

Thanks,

GENIUS, GEMINI and TOPS are not part of the open data feeds, which is why no public website lists such details.

 

[Coolzac]

If you wanted to ride on a particular type of train or formation, would there be any way of finding out?

Unless you known knowledgeable people that know, or know which route it travels on frequently i assume.

As a thought how does all of the access rights for these websites work? I work for a contractor to network rail, should I have a login and password or is it just toc and operational workers?

Thanks,

If you want access, you sign up. Simples.

Thanks. I was also referring to systems like Gemini, Genius and Tops. Are these TOC only?

Thanks,

However, your account probably won't do anything. The NR datafeeds are restricted to 500 users at a time, so you'll have to wait for a few dozen people's account to become inactive.

I don't know how close they are to being full - I signed up and got access pretty much straight away.

That's interesting, didn't know that even thought i don't use that data feed.

Simple answer is if your job requires access you will be (or should be) given access by your employer.
