Train Cancellation

From Open Rail Data Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

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.

Header

Field Description
msg_type Set to '0002' for a cancellation message
source_dev_id LATA or CICS Session of the inputting terminal
user_id NCI signon of the inputting user
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')
msg_queue_timestamp

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). If a change of identity occurs, this will still continue to be the original train_id from the 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
canx_type Either "ON CALL" for a planned cancellation, "AT ORIGIN", "EN ROUTE" or "OUT OF PLAN"
