@partim Yep I have some ideas on how to do this in our journey planner. We would search extremely pessimistically first, then pick earlier connections as a plan A and keep the pessimistic as the plan B. For connections we don’t have a plan B we would have that warning. It’s quite difficult to implement technically so it’s further in the future though.
In the meantime we always recommend at least 1 hour before any night train, in some cases more. That protects a majority of cases :)
@stefanlindbohm @partim @jon Are you able to work using a cached copy of the time table, or can this result in large number of requests to the SNCF API to get the info needed ?

@jon I've been catching up on "Jet Lag: The Game" in the last days and I'm impressed by the very different nature of the main challenge posed to the players in France vs in Germany:
Germany: Missing a crucial connection because of a 30 minute delay of the hourly train.
France: "No trains from here in the next 3 hours, and then the TGV onwards is fully booked. No apologies" -
@jon It is an ICE 1. One of the last train of Deutsche Bahn that provides comfortable accomodation for tall people even in 2nd class?
In the new ICEs of Deutsche Bahn (ICE-L and the BR 408 with the new interior) I (193 cm, "Sitzriese") don't even fit comfortably in 1st class accomodation..
May I ask how tall you are?
@Zugschlus I know it’s a ICE 1, thanks. See the alt text 🙂
And I don’t dispute those are good. I’ve just taken them too often!
-
@jon thats the best type of ICE
@lollar yes. But I’ve taken them too often.

There goes a ICE to Berlin
But I’m not taking that. That’s boring
I have a little longer to wait for my more interesting option 🙂
Trainsplainers: yes I know that’s a ICE 1. I know those are good and comfortable trains.
But *today* I have my reasons for not taking it. That will become clear shortly 🙂
1549 reasons actually.

@Sobex Our journey planner runs 100% in our own systems. We have a license for the raw international timetables (MERITS) and complement that with some other data sources for operators who do not participate in the international dataset.
This is how we can plan any journey across Europe, even when we don’t have an integration to sell tickets.

@stefanlindbohm @partim @jon And then, once you have the plan, you only go to the railways API to get the prices and do the actual booking.
This should result in better look / book ratios with the operators API themselves, right ?
Also, how long in advance are those timetable valid ? Does that allow you to identify connections that aren't open for booking yet, but will be eventually ?
(e.g. looking 4 month in advance when one of the train will only be opened for booking 3 month in advance)

@jon Provided it’s got nothing to do with US ICE, you should be fine 🙂😁 Otherwise, the experience could be arresting! 😉

@jon ICE L. Are you seated in wagons 15-17?

@Sobex First question depends on implementation. Many other booking sites run ”looks” straight and then yes, we (often, nuance possible) save ”looks” for results the user didn’t click on. There are also pure planning possibilities in some API’s that don’t count as ”looks”.
Timetable horizon is hit and miss. Most common is that operators publish the same data that is available in their own sales channel (regardless if bookable or not). But it varies both directions (yes really).

@stefanlindbohm @partim @jon This winter, we found on DB a French Intercité that SNCF wouldn't show us (because it was before the booking opening for that train).
(I looked up when that train would be open to book, and we'll book it for Grandma once it opens).

Found this list of blind-accesible videogames.
I cannot know for sure, but I would think this list is incomplete, though no fault on who made it but because lists often are. Am I correct, the the list could be expanded?

@d10c4n3 @ciccillo @GustavinoBevilacqua @bbacc no ma figurati ho capito il punto
-
@d10c4n3 @ciccillo @GustavinoBevilacqua @bbacc quello che dico è che c'è una bella differenza tra condannare il regime con una mozione parlamentare e farlo con una dichiarazione alla stampa, visto che fanno i politici e non gli opinionisti
-
@gino @ciccillo @GustavinoBevilacqua @bbacc 2/2 davvero non mi interessa difendere i 5s che io sono per la prescrizione preventiva, ma se uno mi dice di firmare un manifesto contro la droga, se non c' è scritto che è anche antiproibizionista non firmerei.
