Train Times is a simple application that fetches up to the next 30 trains for a particular UK train station.
When used for the first time, you will be presented with a configuration window where you have to put the 3 letter station code for the station you want. There is a html file called stations and I have created a datapower file called Station and a csv file called stations both of which can be downloaded from my web site. Once the all the information is entered and Return or the Save Details button is pressed, the configuration window will close and the train time table for that staion will open. The information displayed is,
If a train starts at your station it will not have an arrival time, like wise if it ends at your station it will not have a departure time, some stations the platform number is not known so they all will have N/A. If their is more than 10 trains for your station, than 1 or 2 buttons called Page 2 and Page 3 will show, clicking on these buttons will display upto the next 10 trains. The Refresh button will redownload and update the first page. The Save button allows you yo save the information as either plain text, html or csv.
