Missing arrivals for some District line stops

Unified API
1

Hi there

I process arrivals for the district line using the ‘/line/district/arrivals’ endpoint, getting arrivals for all stops. However, some stops seem to consistently bring back no arrivals.

Some of these stops: Bayswater, Notting Hill Gate, Mile End, Becontree. There are probably more.

I notice that the TFL arrivals page for these stops also doesn’t show any data

Does this mean there is a problem with the data source?

Thanks!

Richard

I’ve noticed the same problem with Heathrow T5, on the Piccadilly line.

hi @richardhawthorn

In terms of the District Line, I’ve answered this before on this thread. Issue with Station Arrivals call - #4 by jamesevans It’s essentially a limitation of the current signalling.

In terms of T5, I would imagine that suffers from being a terminal station and train predictions only appear when a train goes into service (i.e. a few moments before it leaves T5 eastbound)

Thanks,
James

Hi @jamesevans

What about Theydon Bois for the Central Line?
I see no arrivals at that station.

Thanks,

hi @Ajebz

Congratulations - you’ve found a bug! Amazingly, it’s been broken forever but no one’s ever reported it.

It’s essentially a missing mapping for the Trackernet code in our API.

I’ve fixed it and will go live with next week’s data release.

Thanks,
James

I thought I had reported this when I found it before… it seems I must have let it go…
