TOPS Category: ?This is my own (unofficial) means to categorise TOPS codes based on what they relate to and whether they are long (4 characters, i.e. including sub-codes) or short (3 characters) SW - Short Code, Wagons In selection ?This works on your last-used TOPS selection, including any filters and sort orders. Buttons will not show if the current TOPS code was not in your last selection, or if you are at the beginning or end of the data set.

A wagon kind TOPS enquiry for SPA taken 30/01/2021 showed that recently (since my last report 15 months ago) 7 vehicles have been recoded from SPA-L to SPA-E, these being 460557/635/730/874/881, 461002/034 all from the 4209 pool. This leaves 461029 as the only vehicle in 4209 pool coded as SPA-L.

460281/293/323/345/487/504/631/738/863 are deletions from the same period. 460487 now preserved at the East Kent Railway.
