Morning All,

Does anyone know if there is anywhere I can get up-to-date allocation information with which I can link a Trust/TrainID/Service Headcode to a Set?

Many Thanks

John

Hi John

That data isn't Open Data yet. Some people, e.g. Tom Cairns at RealTimeTrains, have signed some kind of commercial agreement with TOCs to share the data, but I don't think this scales.

RDG also have a platform in the Industry Data Portal (IDP) called 'Connecting Train Identifiers' (CTI), but again, this isn't open and I gather access to it is rather difficult to get.

Peter,

Many thanks for the clarification... we do have manual access by another means but automation has become an issue so I was just hoping something might have been openly available.
