My letter informing me of the court date gently suggested that wasn’t worth attempting – ‘this is the scheduled time and date, liable to change without notification’ etc etc. Having recently endured jury service and seen how things shift I was unwilling to chance it. Your reply is how I would have preferred the police one to be though, thanks for the info.

Court dates change frequently. If you had the time and inclination ( unusual and unlikely for normal people), it is possible to track the case by attending on each hearing.
I’m not sure of the situation in England but it may have been possible to track it using the Court Service lists which may be available on line. Again, that will take time on your part.
The Police should have given you the info, perhaps you spoke to someone having a bad day but that is no excuse really. A query, which can be answered verbally, is short and sweet and, more importantly, easy!

The case would be heard in a Magistrates’ Court which is not a court of record. Therefore no transcript etc. Had it been the Crown Court ( higher court) there would have been one.
The Police are not the prosecuting authority - the Crown Prosecution Service is. They may be able to provide details. Certainly, the Police would not provide this.
You could have attended court and watched the proceedings and then you would know what went on.
