(If there's any outage, it'll be there first.)

I have just had that. If you go to the home page it comes up with a login now, didn't do that before. Maybe you need an account now?

Thank you Tom for clearing this one up, I tried to send an email over but I'm having issues with Yahoo at the moment (Separate issue). I've bookmarked the status link above.

Either Southeastern and GTR have decided that it's worth running trains on Christmas Day after all, or there is an error on RTT that has put trains in over their networks:
This is just showing the normal timetable like any other day because the service has not been cancelled yet. The full timetable isn't uploaded for individual days, it is uploaded for the whole timetable period with trains amended on top of this.

It's just because the schedules haven't been updated by the schedule planners. Nothing to do with RTT.

Okay, thanks for confirming.

I don't know what the fuss is, I clearly have far too much time and just like throwing curveballs in there to annoy people. Like deliberately keeping set swap original vehicles around, not cancelling trains for Christmas...

Has the appearance of RTT changed recently?
When I looked in the week it was as it always was not like this with all the locations spread out

Thanks

Wales (sometimes in England), thanks for replying!
On the Extended History upgrade page:
The earliest date of train allocation data availability for each operator is as follows: GB Railfreight - 3rd March 2020, ScotRail - 9th March 2020, Caledonian Sleeper - 15th March 2020, LNER - 25 June 2020, Locomotive Services - 6 August 2020, Northern - 21 October 2020, CrossCountry - 23 October 2020, c2c - 9 November 2020, South Western Railway and Island Line - 18 December 2020, Avanti West Coast - 11 March 2021, Transpennine Express - 28 May 2021, GWR - 12 November 2021, EMR - 20 December 2021, Hull Trains - 3rd October 2022, Chiltern Railways - 3rd October 2022, Grand Central - 3rd October 2022, Lumo - 15 June 2023, Greater Anglia - 14 February 2024, all other available operators except London Overground - 19 September 2025.
Why is Transport for Wales not mentioned? I've looked at North Wales 197s and Cambrian 158s, both with full allocations with Know Your Train / graphics, from late 2022, which is about 3 years before '19 September 2025'.

Noticed that the light engine moved for 60063 today had a TOC allocation of 'PX'. Similar moves for 60063 on Tuesday and Wednesday had a TOC allocation of 'ZZ'. (The following assumes that 'PX' is a valid TOC code.) 'PX' is not in the list of TOC codes that can be selected so should it be added? If the user selects to view freight services should services with an allocation of 'PX' be included?
(I have never noticed an allocation of 'PX' before so could be incorrectly entered.)

I have a couple of questions for you Tom.
For those of us who have RTT+ plus the historic data back to 2011 which is very handy now for myself.

1) Once Mid-December 2026/January 2027 arrives will there still be access to the 2011 December timetables that are currently there now?
2) Would I still be able to access 2011 onwards to now in a couple of years?

Can I make a small feature request, please. Can you add the schedule type (e.g. WTT, STP, VAR, VVAR, VSTP) to the details page- in with the headcode/UID info maybe?

This is already the case:
WTT shows its applicable day for WTT e.g. SX MO MSSuX etc.
STP and VST shows as 'STP schedule'
VAR and VVAR shows as 'Altered WTT'
CAN shows as 'Cancelled from WTT today'

I realised this after posting, but would it hurt to put the acronym in brackets, especially those which are very short term?

I am not Tom but I can give a fairly robust answer from what he has said on the RTT Discord: Extended History isn’t currently rolling like RTT+ - if you have access to it currently you will do so for as long as you have a subscription.

Regarding point 2 I suspect even Tom would need a crystal ball to answer, as things can often change, but as far as I understand at the moment the window won’t shift forwards for the Extended History product.

I’m sure Tom also won’t mind me saying that queries are always best being sent to the support email addresses for a speedier response…
