where to find the codes for Rail Tours Live

new here and apologies if this question asked before -
trying to understand how Rail Tours Live works but can't see where there is information on what the codes are. is there a listing somewhere?

 

Steam tours and times plus codes for txt service here:

The tours that are covered have a little telephone symbol on the right hand side, on the uksteam page linked to in the post above. Click that symbol and it takes you to a page where that specific tour code is displayed for you, or, if your browser works like mine, just hover over the symbol and you will see the code on the status bar at the bottom of the browser window. On multi-day trips like the Jacobite there is one telephone per day, you can see that you have the right one because of the number after the t, which is month-month-day-day - so for example any trips today would have a t0720- code followed with a letter following the 20, like t0720a, t0720b, etc. Hope that helps.

 

Thanks to Steve and Brian for posting the info above.

If you click this link:-
http://railtours.national-preservation.com/

Then enter your username and password it will then show a menu screen that will give you the Railtour option. There are 2 links, one for Uk Steam info (steam tours) and the other for Railway Herald (non steam). Click on either and you can then click the mobile phone symbol and if logged in it will automatically take you back to the Railtours page and say that you are now subscribed to the tour.

There is also a thread here with a lot of FAQ's.

Hope this helps, Neil.

 

I have adjusted the code at the uksteam.info tours page so that hopefully this window now appears in most (all ?) browsers when the cursor hovers over the phone symbol.

Thanks David, that's very useful. Works fine for me in Firefox. And thanks for working so hard on the uksteam site!
