Incorrect timestamps for freight train GTFS realtime

Real-time Public Transport

Hi,

In the sydneytrains GTFS realtime feed, north of CentralCoast V1 signal (named “CentralCoast.V1 Exit Loc”), scheduled freight trains (marked by a “W”) report GMT times at MetroNet locations. For example, as a freight train passes “CentralCoast.V1 Exit Loc” on the down track, it may report a time of 05:12 19/01/26 but when it reaches “MetroNet.1284”, it reports a time of 18:14 18/01/26 (11 hours before). This only occurs for vehicles labelled as “W”, and not passenger trains or “unscheduled” freight trains. Could this please be investigated further?

Thanks.
