London, Surrey... bit of a blur round here...
Not sure if this is the right place for it, but can't really see anywhere else where it might fit (except possibly the 'Memorabilia' or 'Modelling' boards).

Basically, I'm putting together a display board for work for the National Rail stations to go alongside the TfL one I made a while ago. I'm using the OpenLDBWS API at the moment, and I have details for each station that I want by using the nrccMessages output retrieved by calling the GetDepartureBoard function, but I am wondering if there is actually something out there that does it according to TOC rather than by station.

Below is a quick screenshot where I am at so far. By no means complete and need to work on layout a bit! But I tend to try to get the function working before what it looks like!

The only way I can think around this would be to chose a station that is only served by one TOC and use that as the basis for this, but you might end up with a situation like I've currently got with Victoria whereby the 'alert' isn't actually a problem with the service but an update about the access to the Underground.

Is there anybody who knows the API a bit better who might be able to point me in the right direction?
