Hi all, I want to add the following under the 'Actual Times' heading. Please check that it's got the correct information as this is mostly reverse-engineered from the actual data feed as the Thales Group document does not include it:

There are several attributes on Location that can give you the planned arrival/departure times of the train in question:

  • pta/ptd which refer to the public timetable for the service (arrival and departure). You should use these to display train times to users. These are given as HH:MM in 24-hour clock format.
  • wta/wtd/wtp which refer to the "working timetable" for the service (arrival, departure, and pass). These should not be used for passenger information, but include an indication that a train will pass by a given station. These are given as HH:MM:SS in 24-hour clock format.
