Hello all - apologies if this idea has already been floated, punctured, shot several times and buried under the new Crossrail station at Canary Wharf....
How easy would it be to have a searchable site (that looks like RTT, as an example) but would contain historical timetable details.
So, for example, if I wanted to see what trains were scheduled to go through Rugby Central on 12 March 1962, I could enter the details and see what was timetabled to run.
Now I appreciate there are limitations and there is a lot of info that will not be known - this would also require someone to have a copy of the 1962 Timetable for a start.
But in theory - if someone sat down and typed up the timetable into a database, would that be all that was needed on the backend assuming there is a front end that we could use / design?
Clearly this is not a small undertaking, and I would be more than happy to do my part ...
