Its Saturday. There's a load of engineering works going on. And the National Rail Live Departures website isn't working.
Oh no!Its Saturday. There's a load of engineering works going on. And the National Rail Live Departures website isn't working.
Are all stations featured on Tiger, can’t find Llandudno...?Does anyone use National Rail Enquiries for train times these days?
For departure boards, Tiger is good:
Tiger - Real Time Train Information
iris2.rail.co.uk
For example here is the 'CIS summary' option for York:
Click on a destination and it will show you the calling points and arrival times.
No, sadly not. I think it may depend on the station operator.Are all stations featured on Tiger, can’t find Llandudno...?
No, there’s significant areas it doesn’t cover. It’s not that brilliant a recommendation is it, but it’s deffo good for detail if you are in coverage. Wasn’t it one of the first with train lengths?Are all stations featured on Tiger, can’t find Llandudno...?

No tigers in Ipswich, seems quite a few stations missing.

This one is also not working for meTry https://tiger.worldline.global instead, which should list any station controlled by Worldline's ATOS CIS system.
For what it's worth, I believe today's issues are caused by a Darwin failure, which means online services such as National Rail Enquiries may be showing outdated information.

While not the same day as in the OP, today National Rail Enquiries appears to be completely inaccessible, having tried on both my desktop and phone. RTT is substituting fine for now, although there are services I find are easier done on the former vs the latter.
You may be experiencing issues accessing the National Rail Website. We are currently investigating. Access via https://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk still available
I've been trying to get it today, and failing; I haven't had any messages saying why, though.While not the same day as in the OP, today National Rail Enquiries appears to be completely inaccessible, having tried on both my desktop and phone.

National Rail Website - 31/03/21 - Update
The issue with the unavailability of www.nationalrail.co.uk remains ongoing. After extensive investigations we have concluded that the issue is DNS (global addressbook for websites) related and we don’t think most UK Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are refreshing their systems with the changes that we implemented this morning. We can only conclude that this may take until tomorrow morning (24 hours since our implementation) to resolve itself. It is worth noting that if you access the website via another county then www.nationalrail.co.uk does work.
Please be advised that the Online Journey Planner (https://OJP.nationalrail.co.uk) still remains available so does m.nationalrail.co.uk on mobile devices, the NRE Mobile Apps and the XML feeds are all working.
We believe we have no other option but to monitor the situation and wait for the UK Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to refresh their systems.
Further updates will be communicated at 18:00.
