Train Spotting April 2009

Hey dont mind me asking...but how do you actually spot the numbers on the train? I know it's near the bottom, somewhere close to the door...but how do you derive the numbers? First and last?

The first number is always an odd number.

Take the 1st number as n. The 2nd number will be n+1.

E.G. You see the number 001, and the next number will be 001+1=002. So the number is 001/002.

Note: The 1st number doesn't count (X001).

Exterior

Interior

Last 3 numbers, each train has 2 i.d. numbers, the odd number is always lower. In the pic for e.g., the last 3 digits are 002. Since it is an even number, subtract 1, which is 001, so the train i.d. no. is 001/002.

1st digit depends on carriage type. 1st digit sequence will be 3-1-2-2-1-3

There are 3 models of trains:
x0xx and x1xx series are C151
x2xx series is C651
x3xx series is C751B

So coincidental. I used 001/002 photo!

Imagine you're in C751B cars..

you will notice 1st & last cabin will start 3XXX, follow by 1XXX and 2XXX

for example 3313, 1313, 2313, 2314, 1314, 3314

bold = The first digit depends upon whether the car is the first, second or third car from either end of the train, where the first car equals 3, the second equals 1 and the third equals 2. Do not count this digit..

normal = is the train identification number..

eg:

x0xx & x1xx is C151

x2xx is C651

x3xx is C751B

so 3314 is C751B cars

bold and underline = is the trainsets identification number.. in this case, 3314 is the first cabin xx14 is even number, if you see even number, -1

eg: xx14 - 1 = xx13

if you see odd number like 1313, +1

eg: xx13 + 1 = xx14

if you understand this part, continue reading down..

_____________________________________________________________

so..

3313, 1313, 2313, 2314, 1314, 3314

dun forget to add the train identification number..

3313, 1313, 2313, 2314, 1314, 3314

equals..

313, 313, 313, 314, 314, 314

if that case, this train set is

313/314

for North east line is lil bit different..

71011, 72011, 73011, 73012, 72012, 71012.

the first digit is always 7, do not count..

bold and underline (second digit)

depends upon whether the car is the first, second or third car from either end of the train, where the first car equals 3, the second equals 1 and the third equals 2. Do not count this digit..

bold

third digit is always 0 as it is train identification number

eg: 7x0xx

0xx is C751A (perm)

and the last 2 is trainset identification numbers

for eg:

72012

first cabin 7xx12 is even number, if you see even number, -1

eg: 7xx12 - 1 = 7xx11

if you see odd number like 72011 +1

eg: 7xx11 + 1 = 7xx12

if you understand this part, continue reading..

_____________________________________________________________

71011, 72011, 73011, 73012, 72012, 71012

look carfully,

011, 011, 011, 012, 012, 012

if that case,

011/012

Carefully not carfully.

And C751B trains start form X311/X312 not X301/X302 as X301/X302 is now defunct money train.
