ScotRail first train operator to publish real time train data
Monday, 9 March 2020

ScotRail is now Britain’s first train operating company to publish data on its trains’ type and carriage length in real time.

The operator has partnered with rail information provider realtimetrains.co.uk to share live information on the use of carriages and allocation of trains.

In addition to visiting Realtime Trains, customers can still use the free app to check how many carriages their train, and how busy the service will be.

Rail enthusiasts will also be able to log on to the website to find out the unique number(s) of the train(s) in use.
UNIT NUMBERS ETC AVAILABLE ON RTT FOR SCOTRAIL TRAINS ONLY.
Thanks to Tom.

This is a great idea lets hope other operators follow suit. Why no HST numbers though?
