Darwin:Via Locations

Via locations

Via locations define the 'via text' which should be added to a destination on the departure board at a given station.

Consider the following example:

• at: "WAE" (London Waterloo East)
• dest: "STROOD" (Strood)
• loc1: "LEWISHM" (Lewisham)
• loc2: "WOLWCHA" (Woolwich Arsenal)
• viatext: "via Lewisham & Woolwich Arsenal"

For a train on the departure board of Waterloo East, which will call at Lewisham and then Woolwich Arsenal before terminating at Strood, the via text "via Lewisham & Woolwich Arsenal" should be displayed after the destination (so, "Strood via Lewisham & Woolwich Arsenal").

False destinations aren't considered for the purposes of determining the via text, but would still be displayed (e.g. at Leeds, the Leeds-York via Harrogate service would be displayed as "Poppleton via Harrogate").
