@fooflington Ah now I see it - used to using that one just by curl not the browser.

It was a config issue in systemd, so fixed that and restarted that service and it;s now working.

Thanks

@fooflington That's odd as they were working and are right now when I checked again.

e.g. https://uktra.in/mde shows Maidstone East & https://uktra.in/search/edin shows a search result.

The online services https://departureboards.mobi/ and https://uktra.in/ are now back up.

I had a slight issue with the servers running the data feeds, so I've had to rebuild them from scratch.

This does mean that there's about 24 hours missing from the feed archives https://archive.area51.dev

NB: The NREA feed for UK Departureboard's desktop/wall boards should also be working again as I provide that feed to them

Very annoying issue on Class 800 trains - when the train is accelerating using the electric motor, my hearing aids produce a rapid pulsing squeal. If I take them out, there's zero sound for everyone else - it is EM induction from the motors producing it directly in the hearing aids.

To put the sound on a scale - when it can be heard, it drowns out all other sound.

So, I'm guessing the trains and the motors don't have great EM shielding.

Network Rail confirmed that the wi-fi systems at 19 railway stations were disrupted by a Cyber Attack

People reported logging on to the wi-fi at the stations on Wednesday and being met with a screen about terror attacks in Europe.

The rail provider said it believed other organisations, not just rail stations, had also been impacted.

@linker3000 the old rule of thumb was, if you travelled for 3 or more days it was cheaper getting a weekly ticket than dailies.

If less then dailies were cheaper.

Not checked that for a few years now

@linker3000 I know, I used to do it 5 days a week until 2018 & back then it was effectively just under £7k as I couldn't do a yearly ticket. Dread to think what it is now.

The last time I did a daily (Maidstone to London Travel card) 2 months ago it was £35. I remember that was about £20 not that long ago

Railcard train fare discounts are being cut by operators this month.

Savings are advertised as being one-third and are currently applied at a rate of 34% for railcards held by people including those aged 16-30 and over 60.

The discount will be trimmed to 33.4% from the middle of September as operators take advantage of an "easing of system limitations".

@username with my web based departure board site I did put the effort into it to ensure it only loaded what was necessary to reduce what it needed to download.

That said, I date back to the old 8-bit days so have known about optimising since the 80's, so modern developer's do need to take note.
