On wednesday 27 November, a major update is being implemented to the system (Darwin) that powers the Online Journey Planner.
The impact to public real time information will be as below:
- Live Departure Board Feeds (CCLDB) - From 22:00, for appoximately 2 hours, information will show however it may start to go stale and remain so until the deployment is over.
- NationalRail.co.uk - During this time the Online Journey Planner will not contain any realtime information. Timetable jouurney planning will remain in operation.
This update will enable Darwin to benefit from using GPS data on trains. There are also 10 critical, 53 major and 295 minor bug fixes in this release.
Darwin provides real-time arrival and departure predictions, platform numbers, delay estimates, as well as real-time schedule changes and cancellations. It powers all NRE and train operator customer facing real-time information tools, including websites, mobile apps and train station departure board screens.
