Hello,

So I have just discovered the Open Train Times and was going back over previous data it had to see if I could find the train I was on last Saturday. I am able to find the 0944 XC service from BRI to PGN here.

However I am unable to find the 1805 XC service from PGN to BRI which called at BRI at 1954.

All trains for the day are listed here.

My ticket details..

Can anyone shed any light?

I understand OpenTrainTimes only properly maintains historic schedule data for a couple of days. If the schedule is one that is still in force, e.g. runs every Saturday, then it will still be there - but if it was a one-off (only running that day) or special alteration then it will be deleted from OpenTrainTimes by now - this was explained by poggs (author of OpenTrainTimes) in [thread=84347]a recent thread[/thread].

The train you are interested in is shown on brtimes.com here (sorry about the blatant advertising; it's my site). Currently it keeps old schedule data for 1 week. Doesn't do real-time data yet though.

Schedules are deleted from OpenTrainTimes a day or two after their end date because the timetable database is only accurate for the future, not the past.

I'm working on a bunch of enhancements, including storing historical data, at the moment, so you'll be able to look back in the past.
