How the sources fit together

Build a station picture

Schedule + VSTP

Planned services, including short-notice and amended workings.

Train Movements

Actual movement messages to confirm a train has passed or arrived.

Train Describer + SMART

Identify train descriptions and add operational context where available.

The best result comes from matching a planned or short-notice working with observed movement messages. Some trains may only be identifiable by headcode or operational description.

AWAITING FEED

When connected, this list will show the time, headcode or train identity, movement direction, source, and whether the service matched a schedule. No example trains are displayed so results stay grounded in the live feed.
