plan_journeyread-onlyPlan a GB rail journey between two stations from the timetable, including changes: the next few ways to get there after a time, each with departure, arrival, number of changes and every train to catch with where to board and alight. This is the timetable, not live running; for live times on a direct train use station_departures with 'to', and for one train's progress use get_train with its plannin
bus_performanceread-onlyToday's bus punctuality estimate for Great Britain, nationally and by operator: journeys counted, the share on time, early and late, and the average delay. Each bus journey is counted once, judged on arrival near its last stop, and only in the roughly 25 urban areas we sample, so it is an ESTIMATE of how buses are running, not an official figure. 'On time' follows the GB bus standard: up to 1 minu
disruptionsread-onlyCurrent GB rail incidents and planned engineering work from National Rail's KnowledgeBase: what is affected, the operators, the dates and a link to National Rail's notice. Optionally filter by operator (name or two-letter code) or by any text, such as a station, line or reason.
train_historyread-onlyHow one timetabled train has actually run over recent days, by its planning ID (from find_train, station_departures or get_train): each day's delay at its final destination, cancellations and any reason given, plus the share on time. Delay is measured where the train ends, not at any station along the way. History follows the planning ID, which changes when the timetable changes, so a newly timeta
get_trainread-onlyFull details of one train by its planning ID (UID, e.g. 'C04207'): every public calling point with booked, expected and actual times, platforms and per-stop cancellations, plus — for today's trains — where it was last reported and how late. A cancellation can apply to only some stops. 'lastReport' is the last place signalling or movement data placed the train, not a GPS position. Reasons are Natio
bus_stop_departuresread-onlyNext buses from a bus stop anywhere in Great Britain. Takes a stop name with its town or area; many stops share a name across the country, so 'Trafalgar Square' alone can land in Greater Manchester while 'Trafalgar Square London' finds Charing Cross. A stop letter can follow, e.g. 'Trafalgar Square London stop X'. A stop's ATCO/NaPTAN code also works. Live predictions in London (TfL); elsewhere th
station_inforead-onlyDetails of a GB railway station: address, managing operator, facilities, step-free access, industry codes (CRS, TIPLOC, STANOX, NLC) and, where Network Rail publishes it, the live status of each public lift. Lift status is 'In service', 'Out of service' or 'Data not available'; the last means the status is not known, and Network Rail's wording for it advises checking before travel. A station with
station_departuresread-onlyLive departure or arrival board for a GB railway station, from National Rail's Darwin feed: booked time, expected time, actual time once reported, platform, operator and any delay or cancellation reason. With 'to', only trains that also call at that station are listed, each with its booked, expected and actual time there: the live answer to 'next train from Bolton to Darwen'. On an arrivals board,
daily_performanceread-onlyTransitRadar's own record of one completed day on GB passenger rail: how many trains ran, how many were cancelled, the share of recorded arrivals within five minutes at their destination, the same share counting each cancellation as a failure, per-operator figures, and the commonest delay and cancellation reasons. Measured at the destination, so it is stricter than, and not comparable with, the in
bus_disruptionsread-onlyCurrent and planned bus disruptions in Great Britain from the Bus Open Data Service (SIRI-SX): diversions, closed stops, roadworks and events, each with the operators and lines affected and the stops named. Filter by operator code (NOC) or by a word matched against the text, e.g. a town, road or line. Rail incidents are the separate 'disruptions' tool.
find_trainread-onlySearch the GB rail timetable for specific trains. The query combines terms: an operator and a headcode ('LNER 1S09', 'EMR 1H26'), a time and a station ('12:19 from Corby' — matched within about ten minutes either side), two stations ('Corby to St Pancras', which also finds trains calling at both), or a planning ID / UID ('C12345', or its first few characters). A headcode alone is not unique: the s
plan_door_to_doorread-onlyPlan a GB journey that may combine trains, buses and short walks, between railway stations, bus stops or coordinates, from the timetables. Each place can be a station name or CRS code, a bus stop with its town (e.g. 'Briggate Leeds'), a stop code, or 'lat,lon'. Returns the next few ways after a time with every leg: mode, line or train, where to board and alight, and times. Timetabled, not live. Fo
direct_destinationsread-onlyEvery station reachable from a GB railway station WITHOUT CHANGING TRAINS on a date, after a time, each with the train that gets there soonest (a later but faster train beats an earlier slow one), sorted by arrival. Includes places reached by staying aboard a train that divides or joins another en route: those rows carry an 'association' naming where, and the passenger must be in the right portion
find_unitread-onlyLook up a GB passenger train unit or carriage by the five- or six-digit number painted on it (e.g. '360107'): which service it is working now, the other services it is booked to work today, and the last calling point it was reported at. This comes from the operator's rolling-stock allocation, which is a plan and may be wrong during disruption. The position is the last calling point reported, not a
search_stationsread-onlyFind GB railway stations by name or code. Returns each station's three-letter CRS code (e.g. KGX), its TIPLOC and whether it has step-free access. The CRS code is what the other station tools accept.
