Missing London Overground Timetable Info

Unified API
#1

Hi,

I’m trying to get the timetable information for London Overground.

If I make the following call I get all the route information:

‘https://api.tfl.gov.uk/Line/Mode/overground/Route’

However, when I try to get timetable information such as the following, I get the error message ‘No valid route found for 910GWCROYDN to 910GHGHI on line: london-overground’:

https://api.tfl.gov.uk/Line/london-overground/Timetable/910GWCROYDN/to/910GHGHI

The same calls work on the tube and dlr transport methods but seemingly not here. Please can anyone assist/advise?

Many thanks

Hi @emvy03

Welcome!

We currently don’t support the dynamic call to timetables for London Overground or TfL Rail modes.

This may be something we make available in the future but for now, I would suggest that you use the DARWIN Timetable function that is available from the Rail Delivery Group.

The 2 operator codes are LO for Overground and XR for TfL Rail.

Thanks,
James

Hi James,

Thanks for the rapid reply!

Okay cool - I’ll give that a go. I’m actually using that for something else but didn’t realise London Overground was supported.

Thanks again!!

You can get the whole of the UK Rail timetable from the FTP connection to the timetable server at NRE

https://opendata.nationalrail.co.uk/api/staticfeeds/3.0/timetable

The format is a bit old fashioned!
