    Are they not the same TOC? They show on RTT with the code of SO but I think Railadventure is now the TOC

    I don't think RTT knows about steam locos, so it always says Diesel haulage - I think FS usually goes round under it's own steam.

    It wasn't a TSC that I recognised so I started searching. ( My former work records are years out of date.)

    This what Live Rail Record came up with -

    It did puzzle me why a development planning company would have a Train Service Code because as far as I knew they project managed and used specialists for activities like train and on track machine movements.
    From an inside source I have heard that both workings are operated by Rail Adventure with a pair of HST power cars.

    Train service codes are a bit of a minefield, one digit wrong and costs can and do go to the wrong company with all the problems which follow.

    It just proves that it helps to look at headlines as well as the detailed schedule details.
    It seems that 5944 has the definitive answer and no one cleared up the database of TSC codes!

    Cheers, Neil

    Not on recent moves, not sure if any of the moves since it changed away from Riley care have been without diesel, there may have been one or two, not a loco that I follow closely.
