MMM-UKNationalRail - Rail departure info for specific UK Railway stations

[Bob]

@tenpinmark Any chance you can post the code you used to fix it ? (or submit a fork to switch to instead)

@Glass92 I had similar problems (and only with this module). My solution was to create a cron job to reboot the mirror after midnight, which restarted the code. It’s not ideal, and actually introduces other issues with the HDMI port (will sometimes fail to initialise the display). I’ve since removed the cron job, and now just manually reboot if needed (usually once every couple of days)

Is there a way to make it work?

Getting emails from transportapi.com saying I’m over my call limit. Anyone else?

[matt216]

Looks like transportAPI.com has changed their free tier to just 30 calls per day. This module (for me) seems to have used almost 300 per day previously.
Also it doesn’t look like the module is maintained by the developer anymore.

Is anyone able to show how I can get arrivals as well as departures showing?
I tried this, but it’s still only showing Departures.

{
	module: 	'MMM-UKNationalRail',
	position: 	'bottom_left',
	header:		'Departure',		//Optional - delete this line to turn OFF the header completely
	config: {
		stationCode: 		'CUF', 		// CRS code for station
		app_id: 		'8e9c6489', 	// TransportAPI App ID
		app_key: 		'd8*********************7c9c45550', 	// TransportAPI App Key
		maxResults: 		5,  		//Optional - Maximum results to display.
		showOrigin: 		false,   	//Optional - Show the origin of the train in the table
		type: "arrival,departure"
	}
},

@Bungle68 it appears this module is no longer maintained, and most of the code is 6 years old.

wko knows what has changed in that time

@sdetweil Thanks
It seems to be working now, I just can’t get the platform numbers up.
Is there an alternative module? 🙏

[sdetweil]

@Bungle68 sorry, no idea

[sdetweil]

@Bungle68 what shows for showPlatform:true??

says - if no platform info
