/Line/Timetable Circle line missing trains to Edgware Road

1

Line/circle/Timetable/940GZZLUPAH/to/940GZZLUERC provides the correct trains from Paddington (H&C) to Edgware Road but replacing PAH with PAC or BST (other Paddington or Baker Street) and the timetable in the output is empty as follows:

            }
        ]
    }
}

Considering the other way round (Edgware Road to Paddington (H&C), Paddington and Baker Street) I have found the trains from Edgware Road to Paddington trains in the Edgware Road to Paddington (H&C) ouput but towards Baker Street they are also missing with a similar output to above.

Hi, please note the disambiguation options in the response.

From Paddington (District & Circle) or Baker Street, it is possible to reach Edgware Road by travelling in either the clockwise or anticlockwise directions. That is why there is a disambiguation.

You will therefore need to make a request that specifies a direction. For example:

https://api.tfl.gov.uk/Line/circle/Timetable/940GZZLUPAC?direction=outbound

https://api.tfl.gov.uk/Line/circle/Timetable/940GZZLUPAC?direction=inbound

Ah, didn’t realise that’s what the disambiguation was getting at. Thank you!
