Morning all,

I'm missing a number of old headcodes from the past.
Anyone able to provide the info please?

03rd May - 17:25 Crewe to Euston
19th May - 08:00 Kings Cross to Edinburgh
19th May - 16:00 Edinburgh to Kings Cross
21st May - 08:00 Kings Cross to Edinburgh
26th May - 08:00 Kings Cross to Edinburgh
03rd Aug - 08:00 Kings Cross to Edinburgh
03rd Aug - 16:00 Edinburgh to Kings Cross
29th Nov - 08:00 Paddington to Cardiff Central

Old notebooks, rain splattered pages and my appalling handwriting

Thanks in advance,

Dates and/or times look wrong here. 03/05/87 was penultimate Sunday of the winter 1986/87 timetable, and I can find no such trains. Departing from Euston before 0800 on Sunday wasn't a thing in the 1980s.

There was a 1F11 0755 SX Euston-Liverpool in the summer 1987 timetable, which started on 11/05/87, but still no 1725 departure from Crewe to Euston.

Others look like HSTs so difficult to trace without access to WTTs.

In the timetable 16/5/88 to 2/10/88 (so not exactly covering your journeys, but they often don't change much)
1B12 08:00 Paddington-Swansea
1A70 17:30 Bristol Temple Meads-Paddington

Been out all morning.

We used to go out early on a Sunday and on Saturdays.

We used to get up early and get to Euston for one of the earliest trains out of Euston. I think I must have got the times wrong.
Usually followed the same sport of format.
Out around 8am and leave the destination about 16:30 - 17:00 ish

Thanks.
The 17:30 looks right as we'd caught a 37 from Cardiff to Bristol.
