Every now and then, both here and elsewhere, someone posts a timetable from Trust, giving a detailed listing of freight and or passenger workings for that particular location. However, unless you know what your looking at, it's just a load of codes...
So here I will attempt to explain it, using the following example taken from the line-up at Barnetby.
The first two columns are the arrival and departure times for the location in question (in this case Barnetby). If the first column says PASS, then the service is not scheduled to stop at this location.
Next comes the four digit headcode - 6H59 (an EWS freight service) will pass straight through Barnetby, whilst 1B82 is scheduled to stop.
The next column is the origin of the service, together with the time it is scheduled to start it's journey - the lower example is a service that should have departed Manchester Airport at 14.57.
Then comes the train's destination, and arrival time, in the same format.
The next column indicates whether it is a timetabled service, a one off 'special', a temporary variation or whatever - WTT indicates that the service is a regular timetabled train, STP is used for specials, VAR for variations (i.e. diversions).
The next columns shows what days the train runs - MO is Monday only, SX is Saturdays Excepted (Mon-Fri), EWD is Every Week Day (Mon-Sat) etc.
The final two columns show what dates the timetable runs from - in the above example, 6H59 is scheduled to run Mon-Fri from 12/12/05 to 09/06/06
Easy isn't it?
