• Grokipedia Comes to TrainTimes

    From Kevin Wells@3:633/10 to All on Thursday, February 19, 2026 22:45:02
    Hi

    My RISC OS application for displaying UK train time tables called
    TrainTimes has had a little upgrade taking it to version 2.09

    The new feature in this version is that you can get more information
    about a station from Grokipedia which is an AI online encyclopedia.
    Grokipedia is not the finished article as yet so their is a
    inconsistency in how the URLs work at the moment, for example some
    station URLs is all lower case whilst others the first letters of a
    station name is upper case and the rest lower case, so when it is sorted
    I may need to amend how the are called.

    Another change is a fix for ampersands and wikipedia which was broken
    and is not now.

    TrainTimes can be downloaded from:

    <https://kevsoft.co.uk/#TrainTimes>

    It does require a working internet connection and wget to work plus an
    API key from the time table providers RealTime Trans API, whist the
    station and station operator data comes from Nation Rail.

    Wget:

    If you find this or other of my software useful why not purchase some of
    my merchandise or donate some money through my Ko-Fi pages.
