Has clarified, this is a UK Charter train.  Saw coaches and locomotive running around BTM earlier today.

Charter trains are not normally published, as they are not for everyday public use, but only for those select passengers who have pre-booked tickets.

Just a quick tip for the future:

Any headcode with a "Z" means this is a specially run service/additional service not published in the National Timetables, and therefore is only tempary.

Hi BB

Many thanks for headcode prompt, I can't find the ready link to the headcode list but if you have missed the 'Acronyms' link at the top of the page it is included there.
