Opentraintimes / Realtimetrains recent search engine issues?

My standard Google search when heading out is "realtimetrains <stationcode/stationname>" and the first link invariably brings me to the detailed view for that station for departures now.

When I notice disruption en-route my Google search is "opentraintimes <stationname>" to produce a map of the area.

In the past couple of weeks or so both of these searches have been completely borked. RTT results go to historical days/times and OTT links rarely link to any maps.

This may be the first time I've ever said this, but even Bing did a better job on a recent test...


Anyone have any idea what's going on? Is this just Google running down proper search results to spew more "AI" at us?

I built myself a little web page to pre populate my most common search criteria (freight at station X for the current day) to avoid that very problem
