Today (8th July) whilst watching the disruption/melee at Westbury between 0930 and 1020 on Opentimetrains, I saw a code T706 enter Wesbury via platform 1 and rapidly go towards Warminster.
It then vanished.

I can find no service with that code.
Any thoughts please.

The signallers are able to enter any 4 digit alpha-numeric code.  I notice that one of the sidings at Westbury has a ground position signal W706, so I wouldn't be surprised that it was a short notice light engine shunt move to the Down Siding 1 that signal is located on. 

That would explain why it vanished as not all ground position signals at Westbury have berths (including W706), so headcodes will often vanish.

Are you 100% about the code, was it something from an earlier view of the website?

Only trains passing non commuter were:
6A12  / 6A18 Whatley Quarry to Appleford approx 1017
5U73  Empty 9 car IET from Westbury to Stoke Gifford approx 1021
