What is happening?
NSW Trains are making changes to their GTFS static bundle to enhance and improve the data that is provided to consumers and customers.
Enhancements include:
- Merge Agencies 710 and 711
“710 - NSW TrainLink Coach” and “711 - NSW TrainLink Train” are merged into one agency “711 - NSW TrainLink”.
- Vehicle Category field in trips.txt
Included “vehicle_category_id” as a new field in trips.txt to indicate the vehicle that will be used for the trip.
- Vehicle Information
Included “vehicle_categories.txt”,” vehicle_couplings.txt” and ”vehicle_boardings.txt” files in the GTFS Schedule.
- Booking Required field in routes.txt
Included “booking_required” in routes.txt to indicate the routes that are bookable.
-
Remove locations from the stops.txt that are not in the stop_times.tx
-
Add support for border locations to appear in the bundle
What does this mean for me?
These changes will be implemented overnight! New bundle will be available in prod tomorrow 22 November 2024.
There will be an outage to NSW Trains GTFS-R tonight between 8pm - 8:30pm
