Correct - I was referring to the OP's specific question about trains passing Ribblehead, on the S+C 'proper'
MARK
It’ll take the pressure off of Twitter and the two lovely rail staff users on here who are constantly supplying me with allocations, that’s for sure!
No idea. Can't say I'm too fussed about the allocations part of it. They are a useful side benefit of Know Your Train rather than the cause of it.
You can log all your journeys and what loco/units you have and much more. It will even auto-fill all relevant information for each trip such as headcodes and arrival/departure timings both actual and WTT. I started using it last December and my only regret is not using it soon enough.
Something a bit new and different today, and not something that many people expected - but feedback positive so far in that many didn't think they'd want it but now it's there it's useful so there we go.
Track Your Train is a new feature today that provides the location of a train and information about its forward progress. On supported lines of route, a new information panel will be displayed which will show a number of tidbits of information. It'll identify likely forward or current signal aspects, current position, forward potential progress in the detailed mode and what might be causing some slow running or waiting.
It also provides the ability to do early platform confirmation at all stations along the supported lines of route for all train services. Also at the origin of services at selected stations, the service can now show 'preparing to depart' and 'ready to depart' where appropriate.

Not an enthusiast thing, more a general passenger thing, but I'm sure that @DarloRich will see where I'm going
I suspect that 'ready to depart' means that someone on the platform has pressed the TRTS (train ready to start) button.
Preparing to depart is based on TRTS. Ready to depart will appear if the TRTS has been called and a route has been set. It will revert to At platform if the route gets thrown back.
PS when will it give me a unit number?
Extremely unlikely. The majority of these requests come from railway staff, who would find it useful in their daily goings on at work, whose parent companies pay the grand total of zero towards the site. There is an internal, industry targeted, version of the site with this functionality, however.
Fair enough! It's not massively difficult to pick through the platform numbers anyway, just thought it worth asking!
The 91s also show their different liveries too.
