GB Rail Rover Guide Website

[bearhugger]

I've just used the GB Rail Rover Guide website for the first time since last year. The developer(s) seem to have removed the station search facility, where you select a particular station from a drop-down menu and then be shown the applicable rovers that are valid for that station. It's a feature I found very useful when I was holidaying in the Ayr/Glasgow/Arrochar area last year. I was just wondering why it was removed & could it be returned?

Bearhugger, it was removed because a server migration caused it to stop working. The script that powered it was quite old and was not compatible. I've searched for a similar one but not been able to find one other than php scripts of which I'm unfamiliar with. I'm sorry about it it is very annoying. If anyone has any suggestions of a perl search script I'd be most grateful.
Thanks
Kevin

Thanks for the reply, and I hope you are successful in your search for a new bit of code.
