I'm not going to be moving away from Twitter but I am now on Mastodon as well. You can find me at area51.social/@peter A few people from here are in the Fediverse as well - it would be good to see who else is.

Departure boards are now back. It looked like something upstream had failed as I was receiving traffic from Network Rail but not from National Rail Enquiries/RDG. However the NRE feeds started receiving traffic again around 0740 BST

There's an issue with my departureboards where nothing seems to be updating, looks like I'm not receiving anything from upstream. I'm investigating the issue. departureboards.mobi uktra.in

I was asked if I could create a departure board which you can access from the console using curl, so here it is uktra.in/ e.g. for Maidstone East you can run: curl uktra.in/mde Full instructions on the home page #departureBoards #ukRailway #console
Example of both Linux console and FireFox showing the departure boards for Maidstone East

ALT Example of both Linux console and FireFox showing the departure boards for Maidstone East

Example of it running under macOS both in terminal and in Safari. In this example it's showing Swanley
