It is under the subject heading of "Diesel train codes KX".
( Or perhaps richard might want some or all of the relevant posts transferred to a more appropriate LNER Encyclopedia forum?) ]

The Chronicles of Napier site lists express headcodes in the Timetables section.

Yes, very useful and thanks, Robert - it should be remembered, however, that the GN still used four digits when referring to 'suburban' services, including the Cambridge Buffets, which were all generically 1B66 I seem to recall. I also remember the 0920 KX - Cambridge was 3030 down, if only because poor Trunky who worked with us could never pronounce it properly and this it was always 'pirty pirty down' to him. Did we take the mick - who us?robertcwp wrote:The Chronicles of Napier site lists express headcodes in the Timetables section.

A topper is proper if the train's a non-stopper!
