I'm sure that this is just an issue with the data being added to TRUST incorrectly, but curious to get input from others that may have experienced this.

Every so often, I see activations for machines, but using the wrong TOC code, or the wrong Service Code.

Here is one I see today for example:
Train ID: 876Q682G23
Train UID: 56019
Running on 23rd Feb 2026
This shows TOC Code '39', but should be '40'.
It also has Service Code '53693601' but it should be '53693903'

Is this just a case of somebody entering the wrong information into TRUST, or is something else happening here?

Hi John

It sounds like somebody entering information other than the information you were expecting.  That could be a typo, or it could be deliberate to get around a data issue somewhere.

Out of interest, why do you think it should be TOC 40 and TSC 53693903?

That would make sense, just wasn't sure why the same issue keeps occurring.

With the data it's currently showing, it suggests that it is operated by Harsco Rail, and that it is an S&C Grinder. In actual fact, it's a Balfour Beatty Tamper.

Happens the other around too - trains which should be TOC ID 39, show as 40, and Service Code 53693903 instead of 53693602:
Train ID: 876U262817
Train UID: 55401
Running 17/02/26
