Open Rail real time railway data advanced database queries.
This part of the Open Rail system is experimental, and still under development. Some queries may return incorrect or confusing results. A degree of understanding of the inner workings of the railway systems behind this data (The "CIF" schedule database, and "TRUST".) may be needed to understand the results of some queries.
A schedule ID number is a unique identification number for a schedule in the Open Rail database. When you see one in the results of one of these queries, click on it and you will be returned to this page with the number filled in ready for queries [A], [D] and [F].
A CIF UID is the ID for a schedule in Network Rail's database, it consists of a letter or a space followed by five digits, e.g. Y63320.
Report [F] shows the performance (On time/late/cancelled) of a particular service at the specified location.
Report [G] shows the most recent 250 trains to pass or call at a location. This is aimed at researching the historical useage of a quiet part of the network.
Report [H] shows schedules that meet all the specified paramters. This is aimed at researching the useage of a particular route.
The Open Rail database contains live running data for the past three years and future schedule information up to the limit of Network Rail's published information.
