@fooflington Ah now I see it - used to using that one just by curl not the browser.
It was a config issue in systemd, so fixed that and restarted that service and it;s now working.
Thanks
@fooflington That's odd as they were working and are right now when I checked again.
e.g. https://uktra.in/mde shows Maidstone East & https://uktra.in/search/edin shows a search result.
The online services https://departureboards.mobi/ and https://uktra.in/ are now back up.
I had a slight issue with the servers running the data feeds, so I've had to rebuild them from scratch.
This does mean that there's about 24 hours missing from the feed archives https://archive.area51.dev
NB: The NREA feed for UK Departureboard's desktop/wall boards should also be working again as I provide that feed to them
Vanaf 10 februari volgend jaar is het weer mogelijk om rechtstreeks met de trein van Amsterdam naar Londen te reizen, maakt Eurostar bekend. Door de verbouwing van Amsterdam Centraal en de verplaatsing van de Eurostar-terminal op dat station moesten reizigers een tijdlang in- en uitstappen in Brussel voor de paspoort- en veiligheidscontrole.
A crash involving a train and a car on a level crossing in Kent has led to railway lines being closed in the area.
Shortly after 14:00 BST on Friday, Southeastern told customers about the crash near Sturry - which meant trains were unable to run between Ashford and Ramsgate

Update: BTP have arrested an employee of Global Reach Technologies, which provides internet access to some Network Rail stations on suspicion of computer misuse act offences and malicious communications.
Very annoying issue on Class 800 trains - when the train is accelerating using the electric motor, my hearing aids produce a rapid pulsing squeal. If I take them out, there's zero sound for everyone else - it is EM induction from the motors producing it directly in the hearing aids.
To put the sound on a scale - when it can be heard, it drowns out all other sound.
So, I'm guessing the trains and the motors don't have great EM shielding.
Network Rail confirmed that the wi-fi systems at 19 railway stations were disrupted by a Cyber Attack
People reported logging on to the wi-fi at the stations on Wednesday and being met with a screen about terror attacks in Europe.
The rail provider said it believed other organisations, not just rail stations, had also been impacted.
