Timetable definitive source

[Rimplot]

Hi,

after riding the RE 26826 of the Koeln-Duesseldorf_2021_16Uhr-19Uhr.fpn timetable, I got a Forgot scheduled stop penalty at Köln-Mülheim that I am baffled by, since neither the working timetable nor the EBuLa displayed a stopping time for it. Upon closer inspection, however, I realized that both the route description in the main train selector window and Zusi Datenbank show an arrival time of 16:01:20.

Which one is the definitive source of the timetable? I thought it was enough to rely on the EBuLa. Or is this just a bug, perhaps?

This shows the authoritative timetable. EBuLa or the Train Data window might show obsolete data if their files were not regenerated after the timetable was modified.

Yes, you should be able to rely on Ebula or the written timetable. However, it is possible that the author of the timetable accidently creates buggy timetables. This is the case here, it was already reported in the German section and should be fixed in the next version.


The Data shown by Alwin is a dump of the source code. So it is absolutely reliable, but it is not intented to be used as a reference. Instead Ebula and/or the written timetable should be used and should be correct.

Out of interest... the arrival time of 04:01:20 pm at K-Mülheim is shown in the Timetable for this route in the latest version of Zusi Route Finder

To quickly find this route in Zusi Route Finder, just copy and paste 26826 into the number: combobox on the left and press Enter.
