Trainset numbers

The car numbers of the trains range from x601 to x690, where x depends on the carriage type.

• The first digit depends upon whether the car is the first, second or third car from the end of the train it is nearer to, where the first car has a 3, the second has a 1 and the third has a 2.
• The other 3 digits is the train identification number. A full length train of 6 cars have 2 different identification number, one for the first 3 cars, and the same number plus 1, for the other three. The smaller number is always at the front.
  • For example, train 689/690 would consist of 6 cars with serial number 3689, 1689, 2689, 2690, 1690 and 3690 respectively.
• Depending on the direction of travel, the sequence may be reversed.
