Is it possible to use Realtime Trains to get a list of all passenger trains from A to B within a specified time-window? I'm trying to get such a list for trains from Durham to York tomorrow afternoon. If I insert Durham as "Location" and York in "Calling at?", I get a list of northbound trains only, with no apparent way of forcing display of the southbound services I want to see. If I put the location in as York and the "Calling at" as Durham, then I obviously get timings at York, not at Durham.

RTT only supports one location and calling at point, when you search. What you're trying to do is show trains both to and from York, on the same page?

Underneath "Calling at" there are two boxes. If you're wanting to view trains south from Durham to York you'll need to type York into the bottom box, which shows "later", and that'll only give you trains that go from Durham south to York. I've attached a screenshot to show which boxes I'm referring to:

Thank you very much! It's so obvious now you point it out, but in fact I've never used the "Later" box before despite having been a user of RTT ever since it appeared! And it doesn't seem to have a full "Help". I've now got exactly what I wanted (and shall know what to do next time!).
