I've looked on Google with no luck and the closest I've got to a train service plan is from 1996 which sadly doesn't show what was operating in the early 2000s, does anyone know what the formations were of the various mail trains/TPOs that used Willesden PRDC please?

I'm fine with the Class 325s but it's more the loco hauled stock where I'm struggling with getting the formations right.

A search on Flickr for "Willesden TPO" brings up a number of photos of the various loco-hauled TPO workings and their formations, including various different locomotive traction.

This particular photo from 1998 on the GEML at Ipswich mentions that the "Stock was 94425/94457/94441/94437" on that particular working - 1M29 - from Norwich to Willesden. You may be able to find other photos on Flickr which may help you.

HTH.

A list of Headcodes and origin/destination would probably help with this one rather than a general question as each train will have been different.

Loco wise, Electrics were 86/4s and 90/0s. Diesels were 67s by that time.
