Started to look through the folders, looks pretty good. Hoping to find something for my area soon.

Thanks for the link.

Am I missing something here ?
It states on the front page that the timetables show passenger and freight workings,but the folders I've looked at (especially PB as that's my area) show only passenger services.

For your area the passenger working timetable is PC 04 and the freight one is PF 18.
There is an "index" at the bottom of the list of code folders which makes finding the correct code much easier.

It states at the top of each timetable page the days on which the times apply. e.g. Mondays to Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays. In the case of the Mondays to Fridays trains some only run on certain days and this is indicated at the top of the timing column by a code such as MO (Mondays Only) or ThX (Thurdays excepted). Sometimes the times are only applicable on a certain date or between certain dates and these are also stated.

waded through the index files and found a few timetables I certainly like the look of

But you have to be careful with this little gem as it is NOT a timetable, whatever NR call it. It is a list of timed paths. There is a HUGE difference.

In other words, it shows the slot that is available to run a said train should it need to be run. As an example, there is a train shown going into and out of a siding at Eccles, near Manchester. I can assure you that this service has not run for a number of years, as the state of the track attests. But the booked path remains, just in case.

Having said that, in some locations it should be a good indication of when to expect a train that you know does run.

Brian.
