The schedule for this service isn't available. It may no longer be valid.
Not recommended for use with passenger trains - this data is produced solely by hand and will have inaccuracies - not all signals covered.
Disclaimer
Train movements shown on the map are based on signal section occupation times from historic running. This service offers no guarantee of accuracy. It follows the same data as other signal map websites, combining a moving point marker with the average time a train sepnds in a section.

= Train Position Likely Correct
Not currently used.
= Train Position Maybe Correct
Moving point is based on average time for the train class (eg class 6 freight) in current berth. Shouldn't normally be more than 0-20 seconds out, but if the train is running slower or faster than usual, it will.
= Train Position Limited
An unexpectedly long section time. Happens if a a train frequently waits at a red signal, or in instances of reversals at stations. The map does not factor acceleration/de-acceleration so the time in berth will be spread across the entire section of track making the marker show slower. May get fixed later time.
= Approaching a Red Signal
99% chance that the train is in a section approaching a red signal. The train marker may be inaccurate, because the map does not factor in time spent slowing down to the signal.
= Approach Signal Is NOT Red
The train is approaching a signal that is not red.
= Next Berth Is Clear (Signal Aspect Not Known)
Rail Record does not know what the signal colour is, but it knows that the next berth is clear.
= No Signal Data Known
Default signal colour where no data is known.
If you wish, the marker can be completely ignored, and the signal which shows up is where the train is approaching. Just like how signal diagram websites work.
All data is fictional based on historic running and should not be used for any guarantee or time/safety critical activity!
