iRail station bugs
By Tuinslak in iPhone, iRail, wwwFollowing stations are giving a problem: Aalst, Asse, Brugge, Mechelen Trying to find a fix. Issue: All those stations give an additional intermediate page with the question to confirm your station choice.

iRail is back
By Tuinslak in iPhone, iRail, wwwAfter careful consideration with my lawyer Ywein Van den Brande, I have decided to put iRail back online. The copy of the letter to the NMBS/SNCB can be viewed here.

Stopping iRail.be
By Tuinslak in iPhone, iRail, wwwAs I have no choice. Geachte, NMBS heeft onlangs vernomen dat u de uitbater bent van de website www.irail.be. Uw website is, zoals u het zelf vermeldt, een route planner waarbij alle gegevens en informatie van NMBS website komt (“all data and info is retrieved from the B-Rail website”). uw website maakt hergebruik van de [...]

iRail

It is also maintained during my spare time. NMBS/SNCB never helped to create or maintain this website (nor did it show any interest to do so). I never got [...]

Mobile B-Rail website
By Tuinslak in iRail, wwwOnly one and a half year after I launched iRail, the NMBS/SNCB launched their own mobile website (with a few additional functions, but not all of them optimized for mobile view). Well done I’d say. Just a tiny bit late. And too bad there doesn’t seem to be an iPhone optimized version (later?). Oh well, [...]

Brussels-Midi + iRail
By Tuinslak in Errors, iPhone, iRailApparently the NMBS/SNCB website now makes a difference between “Brussels-Midi” and “Brussels-Midi Eurostar”; same station, different track. Due to this change, iRail was no longer able to provide any scheduling information which included Brussels-Midi. I’ve made a quick and dirty work around (by including “+ Eurostar” in the drop down menu), solving this bug. However, [...]

iRail issues
By Tuinslak in Errors, iRailToday, I received an e-mail informing iRail was broken, and not showing any information. The issue has been solved and the site is working again as it should be. I have no idea for how long the website has been broken, as currently I’m not using any trains to reach my destinations. Don’t forget to [...]
