Timetable Codes

[nutter]

What do all the codes under the train picci in the timetable mean. I understand the stop board, traction and times. I'm on about things like ML351 (random) in the brief description of the turn (without individural stops)

IIRC the diagram the train works so ML would usually correspond to the depot. Hope this helps

Cheers for that but what about the REL, RELD and LU codes

Culd it be possible for one of the maybank developers to do a kind of timetable key so everyone can understand it as most of these codes mean absolutly nothing to me at the mo

Yep, the number at the top is the diagram number. The first two letters signify the depot code, such as :

MA Maybank
BD Brookfield
NN Norton
WL Wellford
LH Ludgate Hill

In real life this resume would be a longer list, showing a breakdown of your work for that diagram;

some abbreviations used

REL - relieve existing crew.
RELD - relieved by new crew (usually shows their diagram number so you know who worked the train last.)

JU - join unit (ie get in the cab!)
LU - leave unit

AP - attach portion (couple up)
DP - detach portion

SB - short break
PNB - personal needs break
