Hi @alejandro.felman, there seems to be a problem with the Ferry data, the F3 and F4 calendar does not match the trips. ---

Hi @Halfabee, can you please provide a specific example so we can investigate further? Thanks, Alex ---

I could not find this in the calendar update I did this morning. “trip\_id”:“DH114-3422” and if you look at @jxeeno website [AnyTrip](https://anytrip.com.au/map) some of the ferries are showing as null. ---

I’m still in the process of loading this morning’s static dataset. It failed this morning ☹ But looking at the raw dataset, the trip seems to match fine: ```auto $ grep 'DH114-3422' ferries/trips.txt DH,3422,DH114-3422,Circular Quay,,1,3422-1005,DH114,1 $ grep '3422' ferries/calendar.txt 3422,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,20170627,20170930 ``` Note that the ferry bundle is updated after ~5am daily. ---

@Halfabee should all be matching fine on the AnyTrip map now ---

Thanks @jxeeeno I had the calendar update at 4:00am, which seemed to be working fine until today. I will add some more error checking. ---

Ok, I understand the calendar, I think more sleep is needed. 😉 ---

More questions. How do you deal with fridays when they are on the same route and friday is set for two service id’s? ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/nsw/original/1X/7316daa7b4c6ff8e2689143281c74fd75a895d6e.png) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/nsw/original/1X/b1b9b4b670735e6f69907d6cc989d65557c69783.png) ---

I think this may be a flowover issue from the Barangaroo wharf opening? @alejandro.felman can we look into this? It results in some F4 services showing as duplicates. Trips with service\_id 3422 are not reported in the real-time feed so I presume those are the incorrect ones. This issue affects other real-time apps too. ---

Hi @jxeeno, @Halfabee, we’ll look into it. Thanks
