Charter Trains 2016

Welcome to scot-rail.co.uk, Scotland's online railway community. The group is for any rail enthusiast interested in the railways and trains of Scotland. It not only consists of the wiki that you're reading now, but a busy online forum and mailing list, which was accessible to registered users. From April 2024 the forum has closed, with a replacement started on Groups.io.
A list of charter trains, railtours and associated stock moves and locomotive movements on the mainline in Scotland during 2016.

DH = Double Headed locomotives
DOR = Loco dead on rear
TF = Steam loco running Tender First
