iRail station bugs
Following 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. Old solution: could be by-passed by adding “[B]” to the end of every station name but this has recently changed and is no…

iRail is back
After 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. Minor modifications have been made to make it work correctly again with the new route planner of the NMBS/SNCB (changelog); and I’ll keep working on it to…

Mobile B-Rail website
Only 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…

Brussels-Midi + iRail
Apparently 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 new year’s bug
Took me a while to notice, but iRail.be was displaying the wrong year by default (2011 instead of 2010) and the NMBS website doesn’t have the 2011 time tables yet. Resulting in errors. Anyway, fixed!
