OpenTrainTimes data for last week

[heart-of-wessex]

Hello all,

How does one look at the previous history on OTT again?

I thought you just did a general search for the station or location, which in this case is Havant, and then altered the date in the address bar?

I searched for Havant for today at the default set time, and then on the depatures list, I went to the address bar and changed 2013-05-25 to 2013-05-20/2350

I'm looking for the heacodes and ECS turns for the Havant shuttles on the 20/21 May at night, the timetable is still on SWT's webiste:

However on the Open TrainTimes site, altering the date as above does not seem to work as the Havant terminators aren't listed.

Am I doing something wrong or will the data clear for services like this?


James.

On the front page, where it says "Date" - change that to a previous date.

If the alterations were short-term planned (STP) or variations to the WTT schedule (VAR), then those schedules will have been deleted a day or two after the end of their validity.

It's really difficult to keep historical schedules hanging around as it vastly increases the size of the schedule database and means I need to use more RAM on database caching rather than for making the site work.

(Also, these questions are best sent to support@opentraintimes.com, as I've only seen this post by chance)

Cheers Poggs,

I changed the date on both the calender and address bar, and couldn't understand why both wouldn't show what I wanted, but as they would have been VAR and STP workings, that'll explain why!

Thanks for the response, I'll send an e-mail if I need to next time.
