For the past week or so on Realtime Trains Chiltern services haven't been showing their formations.

Have they abandoned Know Your Train or is it just some sort of fault that is presumably low priority to rectify?

I noticed this on Saturday at Banbury where the screens didn't even say how many coaches a train was formed of... As a 2 coach Chiltern special rolled in.

Yes, I also noticed the absence of train lengths from the board at Marylebone and on Railboard (which gets them from Darwin I believe).

They were certainly working on Thursday 9th Nov (as I was using RTT to check my commute), and the historical data has them up to Friday 10th, but not Saturday 11th onwards.
Hopefully a technical issue that'll be resolved, as it's really handy to know which services are (decent capacity) Mk3s and which are 2-car 168s/165s (best avoided!)

Must be a fault with the internal data feeds, rather than RTT then.

Chiltern had a significant technical issue which prevented data being sent to quite a lot of places.
