Is it just me but on RTT if I put a future date In even just for tomorrow the site just shows a completely random selection of trains!
For example ive got New Street for tomorrow at 12:00 and its showing e.c.s moves to Camden, Portsmouth Harbour, Fratton, Exeter New Yard and Havant, Passenger workings from Windsor & Eton Central and Sheffield and just one departure to Skipton!
Seems a pretty major glitch as its not showing anything that should be there for seemingly any date In the future for any date or station ive tried!

Yes, Realtimetrains appears to be broken at present, with any location I try. I'm sure they'll fix it soon!

In the meantime, other realtime data sites include OpenTrainTimes.

If you want to plan a journey, try FastJP (which also allows filtering by TOC etc)

I had this problem too briefly. Clicking the headcodes in that scenario did lead to the service that should have been displayed instead of that random selection.

Realtime Trains (and Railmiles) suffered a hosting issue this morning. The site is currently running off a server at another location, however this has resulted in some trains being missing from the timetable. Hopefully everything should be back to normal tomorrow, the hosting company are working on it.

Is anyone else still having issues with their mobile site as their website is now working again.

I had doubled up services, for example at Bristol Temple Meads there was an 1848 and an 1857 to Cardiff (the 1857 being the 1848!).

All pretty much working now for me, just the odd glitch every now and then on the maps, like clicking on a service at Barnetby and getting details of a cross city sub service in Brum!

I've previously had an issue with clicking on an Ascot-Guildford and getting a Glasgow-Neilston

Yeah, that's what I thought. That'll be OpenTrainTimes's problem if it's showing the wrong trains (incidentally I find that OpenTrainTimes's ability to map headcodes on a map to actual trains to rarely work. I find Railcam to be more reliable for that).
