Royal Mail question

Ive been given a tracking number for a royal mail parcel, is there any way to see what service they have sent the parcel via?

    Thank you :)

    Could you explain why (sorry!) when I track a Latvia tracking number I get the following message:

    Special Delivery™ Next Day items are first tracked when they have reached our mail centre. This may be late in the evening on the day the item was sent.
    Information on your item is not yet available online.

    just means they recognise the number but have no tracking
    so(in UK) terms if a large customer sends loads of SDsthen the 1st track is when the cllection is taken to the mail centre

    For your Latvian one,they recognise the service it reflects,but have no tracking
    worth checking it on the Parcelforce site too
