Real Time Journey Planner
The Real Time Journey Planning (RTJP) webservice can be used to request journey and fare information from National Rail Enquiries' Online Journey Planner (OJP) service. This API provides the same functionality found on the NRE website, including advanced options, and also includes functionality not available via NRE, such as requesting journeys earlier in the day, or without fares.
RTJP is based on information from several sources, including Darwin for real-time train running information, and the National Reservation System for real-time fares availability.
RTJP licensing and usage conditions
Online Journey Planner APIs are only available to users under a formal contract. To apply, complete a licence request form and send it to RDG's licensing team (nationalraildatafeeds@raildeliverygroup.com).
RDG is obliged by the terms of its contract with SilverRail – RTJP's vendor – to impose a condition prohibiting the use of RTJP in conjunction with ticket retailing on third-party websites.
Usage of RTJP is chargeable at cost-recovery rates, particulars of which can be obtained from RDG.
Timetable Groups
The journey planning service used by NRE includes a concept of timetable groups, which act as aliases for multiple locations. Timetable groups allow for a single All Stations group location to be used to submit multiple 'member' locations for journey planning purposes. For example, the Coulsdon (All stations) group can be used to request journeys to/from Coulsdon South or Coulsdon Town.
RTJP's timetable groups are a convenience for journey planning, and do not correspond to fare groups. Timetable groups may exist where there is no fare group equivalent (such as in the Coulsdon example), may overlap multiple fare groups, and may have similar – or identical – names to fare groups (e.g. London, Birmingham), despite containing different member stations.
