This page lists the codes used to identify Train Operating Companies (TOCs) in the various data feeds available from Network Rail.  Different feeds use different sets of codes to refer to the same company.  Network Rail also have a set of business codes for each of their geographical areas of responsibility, listed at the bottom.


* ''Company Name'' is the name of the Train Operating Company
== History ==
* ''Business Code'' is a two-character code used within the TRUST system.  It is used in the names of the individual [[Train_Movements | train movement feeds]].
 
The business code categorises a sign-on to type of business in the original British Rail.  This can drive things such as permissions granted, e.g. all sign-ons beginning #E or #H have access to certain systems.

This page lists the codes used to identify Train Operating Companies (TOCs) in the various data feeds available from Network Rail. Different feeds use different sets of codes to refer to the same company. Network Rail also have a set of business codes for each of their geographical areas of responsibility, listed at the bottom.

History

The business code categorises a sign-on to type of business in the original British Rail. This can drive things such as permissions granted, e.g. all sign-ons beginning #E or #H have access to certain systems.

The currently allocated business codes are as follows:

Code Description
C Central Services
D Railfreight Distribution
E Train Operating Companies
G British Rail International
H Train Operating Companies
J Other Businesses
K BREL and Level 5 Depots
L Train Operating Companies
P Train Operating Companies
Q British Rail Headquarters
R British Rail Infrastructure Services
T NRCC
U Ex-British Rail (now privatised)
V Ex-British Rail (now privatised)
W DB Cargo UK
X Private owners
Y Private owners
Z Other businesses
