Deutsche Bahn: list of connections with delays
-
The “trainconnection”-module does show the schedule for my daily ride. But without delays. I’d like to have a overview of a specific connection with delays, just like I can find on e.g. bahn.de.
Purpose is to see, whether my commute is on time or delayed.Anybody came across this already?

a great data source for all kind of transportation companies is the German technology provider “Mentz Datenverarbeitung”
You can recognize their API by the XLST Tag in the URL.
For Düsseldorf Main Station the URL can look like:http://217.70.161.98/nrwAbfahrt/XSLT_DM_REQUEST?language=de&name_dm=20018235&type_dm=stop&mode=direct&dmLineSelectionAll=1&depType=STOPEVENTS&includeCompleteStopSeq=1&useRealtime=1&limit=10&itdLPxx_hideNavigationBar=false&itdLPxx_transpCompany=Refresh&timeOffset=0
There are of course some more companies who use that system, most of them are regional transport companies like VRR -
here is a description of the “EFA” interface, also used by the “WienerLinien”

but in Vienna, they use multiple APIs
EFA is just an alternate solution at the moment. -

I would appreciate as well a transport module using the Deutsche Bahn-API. Unfortunately i don’t have a clue how to implement that.
