Train Genius/Virgin ticketing website - data/info out of date?

[4COR]

With Virgin still offering ticketing facilities through their website, it appears they repoint through to Train Genius.

However - Worcestershire Parkway is (still) missing from the list of stations, and their advance booking dates listed on the "Booking Ahead" part of the homepage appears to be stuck at 23rd March (though it appears like advances are available up to expected times).

Any ideas what's going on here - I presume it's not abandoned and is actually selling tickets..?

No. it's not abandoned. Very much alive!

I will ask for WOP to be added. And for the "booking ahead" dates to be updated.

Great - thanks!

I don't know how the data for booking engines work, but presumed it would be some kind of central automated feed for both these kind of thing?

Both of these are now done. There is a central data source, but it contains many fare locations and stations that you would not want to use (such as international stations, many bus fare locations, etc.). So it needs modifying.
