Does anyone know now how to get river bus departures from a specific stop point I’d ? I have been using the same call as normal bus stops and works fine, but nothing for river bus stops
Welcome @psellick
In theory you just first call https://api.tfl.gov.uk/Line/Meta/Modes to get your list of modes…
Then call https://api.tfl.gov.uk/line/route to get a list of routes and filter by the required mode (“river-bus”)
Then call https://api.tfl.gov.uk/line/*routeid*/arrivals - however I’m not seeing anything for https://api.tfl.gov.uk/line/RB4/arrivals right now, so perhaps it doesn’t work…

Thanks yes I am making those calls and the arrivals at a stop point as well nothing coming back not even and error
Let’s ping TfL’s @jamesevans and see if he can tell us. I was going to integrate them into the app I’m working on too, so I’m keen to know myself.
https://api.tfl.gov.uk/StopPoint/930GWRQ/Arrivals?mode=river-bus is the call I am making - is same as for a bus stop which works fine for bus’s just not river busses.
Also do you know how you can get railway stations in London (ie Putney station) I did read some where that it was part of TFL API but could be wrong, as Wandswoth station has an NaptonID
@jamesevans do you know what we are doing wrong for river bus’s ? and is there any documents on mainline railways inside TFL region ?
I think RB4 is still suspended. Try RB1 instead?
Interesting, I tried 1, 2, 3 and 4 and none of them worked. Today I type in https://api.tfl.gov.uk/line/RB1/arrivals and there is the data…
OK, trying this today…
$stationInfo = new TflStationInfo();
$modeName = "river-bus";
foreach (json_decode($stationInfo->cacheTFLcall("https://api.tfl.gov.uk/line/route")) as $mode) {
if ($mode->modeName == $modeName) {
$id = ($mode->id);
foreach (json_decode($stationInfo->cacheTFLcall("https://api.tfl.gov.uk/line/$id/arrivals")) as $arrival) {
echo PHP_EOL . "$id $arrival->naptanId $arrival->stationName ";
}
}
}

More an easy way to view all your local options easily
@jamesevans do you know if RB6 TT will go live again soon ?
