Web Hosting Issue
The normal data feed into Recent Train Times has been blocked since 5th Sept.
This block has been caused by the web hosting company (Ionos) who made a change with no advance notice and who are currently refusing to reverse this change.
An interim workaround is now in place - however data may take slightly longer at times (e.g. a few hours or more) to reach the website.
The data collection processes are currently working correctly, so there should be no gap in the data - it is just taking slightly longer to reach the website.

Help
Get Regular Train Times finds the normal trains that run daily. This excludes schedules that have run only once in the search time period and excludes schedules that have not run in the last ten days.
Get All Train Times includes all trains even if they only ran once and even if they have not run in the last ten days. This will find all schedules but may result in a larger list with gaps (where a schedule didn't run on a particular day/days).
As an example, search for London Euston to Birmingham New Street.
By default, up to five days of actual train times are shown, while the statistics are calculated across the full time period specified.
The number of days of actual train times that are displayed can be changed using the 'Display' setting in the search form or in the 'Quick Options' bar at the top of the search results page.
Search results are direct trains only. To find information for a journey involving multiple trains, search for each leg of the journey separately.
Some mobile devices do not handle the Search Form correctly. Use this search form if you are having difficulties.
