Why are some trains missing from the map?

direkt.bahn.guru internally uses a (legacy) API by Deutsche Bahn to find all direct trains running via a given station within the next 1-2 weeks. This API includes most trains in central Europe, but data availability gets significantly lower the further away stations are from routes (co-)operated by DB. Furthermore, trains operated by smaller companies seem to be missing more often than those run by state-owned operators, probably due to a lack of data sharing agreements.

Why do we use this DB-specific API in the first place? Unfortunately, there still isn't any public dataset available which covers all public transport routes in Europe (or even the EU, at least). Some countries don‘t provide data at all, others only publish data per region and operator (e.g. France), which is very hard to combine into a single dataset. See also: https://eu.data.public-transport.earth

That being said, we‘ll try to use a more complete data source as soon as one becomes available.

Can I help to fix this?

Yes, you could (e.g.):

  • comment below if you found a train that should be on the map, but isn't (please mention the train number and operator, and destination, if possible) to help us understand these edge cases
  • raise awareness for this issue (the lack of data) by contacting politicians in your country, complaining about it on Twitter, etc. (be creative 😄)

MTRX stops in Varberg, Falkenberg, Halmstad, Laholm and Båstad are missing - they have direct connections with Stockholm C, Flemingsberg, Södertälje Syd, Katrineholm, Skövde, Falköping, Herrljunga, Alingsås, through a daily service during summer (at least the current one, lasting a few more days). Some of this stations are only serviced with a single train a week (different stopping patterns between Stockholm and Gothenburg part of the distance depending on weekday).

https://mtrx.travel/static/Tidtabell%20med%20bor%C3%A5s%2027%20juni%20-%2014%20aug%202022_EN.pdf

Varberg already connects to Herrljunga through other trains.

Some of the connections through Snälltåget night trains between Sweden and Germany seem to be missing.

The most telling example I found is that Höje Taastrup in Denmark should be connected through a whole bunch of Swedish rail stations up towards Stockholm, but isn't. It should also be connected direct to Berlin and not only to Hamburg in Germany. There are also errors the other way around - e.g. Eslöv in Sweden should be connected to Höje Taastrup, but isn't.

Nope. Since the opening of the Copenhagen-Ringsted line in 2019, Høje Taastrup doesn't have any long distance connections anymore. If you try to book a journey on snalltaget.se, you can pick "Höje Taastrup" as a stop, but when you actually try to book it, it correctly shows the train calling at the new station Køge Nord some 20 km away.

@kthy, you're right. Seems the info from Snälltåget is erroneous in this case. Sorry for misleading bug!

Spurious rail connection Skellefteå- Luleå- Haparanda which does not exist in real life (yet).

https://direkt.bahn.guru/?origin=7400089

This is likely a bug in input data, there is a regional bus number 20 as far as i know, but no day trains at all to Skellefteå. But at DB it shows up as a regional train.

There has been talk about reopening the night train connection this year (see e.g. https://www.vy.se/vygruppen/press-och-nyheter/pressmeddelanden/2021/nattaget-norrland-kommer-till-skelleftea ) but that train doesn't seem to be currently running through Skellefteå and I can't find a timetable making it clear if it's something that e.g. will happen only part of the year).

According to https://www.snalltaget.se/en/traffic-information, the site will soon be correct (in 2 months):

Track works in Denmark until October 2
De to limited track access Høje Taastrup, the trains will stop at Køge Nord and Ringsted instead of Høje Taastrup.

The Eurostar trains starting on the bahn.de site from "Paris Nord Eurostar" seem to miss actually. Only "Paris Nord" without "Eurostar" is available, but there are no trains to London. Similar for the Eurostar Stations "London St.Pancras International" and "Bruxelles-Midi Eurostar"

Lovely tool!
You're currently missing (night train) D 300 from Berlin Hbf to Stockholm Central (via Hamburg Hbf, Malmö Central), operated by Snälltåget.

Maybe you can also use this:

Hello,
In Catalonia are missing many trains from Rodalies network (https://rodalies.gencat.cat) and from FCG network (https://www.fgc.cat), some of them with international connections.
And congrats for the web, it is awesome :)

Indeed, in Spain the only Renfe trains that appear are MD, LD and AV (except Avlo).
Cercanías (that includes Rodalies and ex-FEVE lines) do not appear, nor do trains from operators that are not Renfe (FGC, Euskotren, FGV, SFM, Ouigo España, Iryo).

Woah. This is very cool. Thanks for making it. It seems like Málaga shows up in the results for other stations (Madrid & Barcelona), but not in the search itself. How can I help fix it? Ian https://196destinations.com DirektBahnGuru_Barcelona direcktBahnGuru_Madrid

Same remark : information works from Spain to France but not the other way around
(Train from Barcelona to Marseille also runs from Marseille to Barcelona.)

Auf der Relation München - Bologna werden nur die NJ mit 9-10 Stunden Fahrtzeit angezeigt, aber nicht die EC mit 6-7 Stunden Fahrtzeit. Selbiges gilt auch für Verona und Rimini, Venedig fehlt ab München gleich ganz. Evtl. noch mehr Verbindungen in Richtung Italien?

Edit: Okay, vermutlich liegt es an der Streckensperrung vom 6.-23. August, sodass bis dahin wirklich keine anderen Züge fahren. Wieder was gelernt. Danke! 😄
