Train Cancellation
A cancellation message is sent when the train does not, or will not, complete its scheduled journey.
A train may be cancelled in one of four ways:
- At activation time ("ON CALL"), usually where the applicable schedule has a STP indicator of "C" - see Planned Cancellations. Trains may be cancelled for other reasons before train has been activated, and when activation occurs, the train will be immediately cancelled with the appropriate reason code
- At the train's planned origin ("AT ORIGIN")
- En-route ("EN ROUTE")
- Off-route ("OUT OF PLAN")
As with all other messages, cancellation messages will only be received for train schedules which have already been activated.

source_dev_id | Set to the device ID of the terminal that issued the request |
user_id | |
source_system_id | Set to "TRUST" for a cancellation message |
original_data_source | Set to "TOPS" or "SDR" for a reactionary cancellation, or "" for a planned cancellation (STP 'C') |

Body
Field | Description |
---|---|
train_file_address | The TOPS train file address, if applicable |
train_service_code | Train service code as per the schedule |
orig_loc_stanox | For an an "OUT OF PLAN" cancellation, this is the location that the train should have been at according to the schedule |
toc_id | Operating company ID as per TOC Codes |
dep_timestamp | The departure time at the location that the train is cancelled from (in milliseconds since the UNIX epoch) |
division_code | Operating company ID as per TOC Codes |
loc_stanox | The STANOX of the location that the train is being cancelled from. For an "OUT OF PLAN" cancellation, this STANOX will not be in the schedule, but a Train Movement message will have already been sent. |
canx_timestamp | The time at which the cancellation was input to TRUST |
canx_reason_code | The reason code for the cancellation, taken from the Delay Attribution Guide |
train_id | The 10-character unique identity for this train (sent in the TRUST activation message) |
orig_loc_timestamp | For an "OUT OF PLAN" cancellation, this is the departure time of the location that the train should have been at according to the schedule |
