Will the Elizabeth Line be replacing TfL Rail?

To moderators. I’ve already looked at this thread and several others.

Elizabeth line and other updates - TfL Tech Forum

So, as I understand it, as of May 24, the following will not work as it will be merged with the elizabeth-line:
https://api.tfl.gov.uk.line/mode/tflrail/status

Or, will it be two lines: TfL Rail and Elizabeth Line?

modeId: elizabeth-line is still not recognized when inputting it in the Line/Route/Sequence url.

Thank you in advance.

@Kupod5uR and answer is “Yes”. The more-intrim-than-expected TfL-Rail brand is no more from Tuesday.

Will we use the following Url to get a list of stations? Currently “elizabeth-line” isn’t recognized.

https://api.tfl.gov.uk/Line/elizabeth-line/Route/Sequence/inbound?serviceTypes

Or, is there a different url which returns all the stations?

Thank you in advance.

OK

I think there are two issues, one is the “mode” which I think is going to be “elizabeth-line” and the other is the “id” which will be “elizabeth”.

I think the idea is (from the marketing) that “elizabeth-line” is this new-fangled thing and “elizabeth” is the instance of an “elizabeth-line”.

I think. I’m going to have to wait until 2am on Tuesday morning as well.

No problem!

I’ve got trains from Darwin

not sure about Abbey Wood being “two stations” and perhaps Whitechapel and Farringdon too.

Good tuesday to you @jamesevans,

Was just checking the arrivals for the Elizabeth Line but it seems it isn’t there (yet) and TFl Rail is still is. Will this be updated soon?

Many Thanks,
A

Nevermind just saw the change.

Thanks,
A

I’ve had to merge the multiple-station codes back into single stations. It makes no sense at all to have two types of National Rail services, it was far too hard to understand…
