Stations served by electric trains

[Marcus Young]

Hi,

Does anyone know a source for identifying which GB railway stations are served by electric trains. Needs to be this specific, rather than just knowing that the line throught the station is electrified (but may be served by diesel).

Thanks

Marcus

Hi Marcus,

Although I’m not aware of a ready made list of stations served by electric trains, this should be able to be calculated by going through the schedule data, which includes the “power type” which is documented on the wiki. http://wiki.openraildata.com/index.php/CIF_Codes#Power_Type

For more information about the schedules see:

http://wiki.openraildata.com/index.php/SCHEDULE for the general overview.

http://wiki.openraildata.com/index.php/Schedule_Records 

You’ll also have passes in the data too, which you’ll need to take account of.

Hi Marcus,

I can run the query suggested by Shaun easily, referring to the Power Type values ( http://wiki.openraildata.com/index.php/CIF_Codes#Power_Type ) what would be the subset required in this case?

Cheers

I made a DISTINCT query and the only power types in the current timetable appear to be DMU, EMU, HST, E and D; so assuming EMU and E as the query, this should be close...

Sorry to spoil things but on my local lines which were electrified two years ago, the trains are still timed as DMU in the schedule database.  So that unfortunately breaks Rail Ale Fan's nifty database query.

Hi Phil,

I'm not that concerned. Unfortunately I've discovered that much rail industry data I've looked at is inaccurate (the NRE Knowledgebase comes to mind ...). This is probably the best I'm going to get.
