  • iRail translations

    I’m looking for people to test out the iRail website in the four different languages, to check for any spelling mistakes. Should you find any, please report them to bugs[@]irail[.]be. Thanks

  • iRail updates

    I’ve made some more changes to iRail; small link (top, left corner) to refresh/go to the main page fixed an issue where the dropdown menus would display HH:MM when it should be HH+1:MM – e.g. if the time was 17h55, it would display 17h00 instead of 18h00 added a return/back button to the results page…

  • Route Planner translation

    I’ve started translating little bits of the website, into French, Dutch and German (though some of it is still in English). I’ll be translating more the coming days (if it’s needed). Please report all typo’s you should encounter.  You can change the language options on the settings page.

  • NMBS/SNCB for iPhone

    As there is no iPhone compatible website or application, I created my own NMBS “route planner” for the iPhone. This is no app though, this is just an iPhone website. Basicly, this is what you can do: fill in departure station fill in arrival station fill in time and date (of departure) At this stage…

  • NMBS API?

    While trying to find an API or “mobile” (read: iPhone) access for the NMBS website, I came upon some cool stuff. The time table and train managing software seems made in Germany. The NMBS “look up” site gives you the software and version it is using (“Software versie/dataversie: HAFAS 5.21.B-RAIL.4.7f/5.21.B-RAIL.4.7k – 14/09/08“). Googling for Hafas…
