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 😄)

Hey,
A train station is missing in France : 'Marne-la-Vallée Chessy' is located at Disneyland Paris (postal code 77700) and gets TGV Inoui, Ouigo, Thalys and Eurostar : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marne-la-Vall%C3%A9e%E2%80%93Chessy_station . The train station is connected with the regional train service (RER lane A).
Not to be confused with 'Chessy' (postal code 69380) which is near Lyon and has a train station too :) (and that one is already on the map)

Hi,
There seems to be an error with Aix en Provence TGV station in France.
This city has 2 stations (a high speed and a low speed one), but both gives the same results, which are the one from the low speed station :

The high speed (Aix en provence TGV) one is the most interesting with your tool though ...
To me it look like it's just a copy paste duplicate or an error in pointing to the right station ...

THank you for this wonderfull tool though

Hey everyone, thanks for reporting these issues, you're a huge help! 🙂

I'm still not sure why some trains are missing, but I found (and fixed juliuste/direkt.bahn.guru@ddfea9f) a quite significant bug on my side where the station search would not show stations that had express trains only, without any regional/normal-speed traffic. This should at least cover the cases mentioned by @Aakser (Aix-En-Provence TGV) and @rgerland (Marne-la-Vallée Chessy), these stations should now be visible in the search.

Regarding the issues mentioned by @alterisian and @pulkomandy (the Eurostar one), these seem to be fixed too, but I'm not 100% sure if that's related, please double-check and confirm that, if you can.

Again thanks to everyone, please keep reporting here. (PS: Sorry for the late response from my side 😅)

Eurostar seems to be working now, thanks 😄

For the other issue I will open a dedicated ticket on the issue tracker, I think that's more convenient :)

Night train vienna to Split missing

Munich-Paris ICE9576 and Paris-Munich ICE9577 both missing.

International EC trains Frankfurt - Klagenfurt (every two hours) are missing. I.e. EC 113.

Are S-Bahn (by DB) not supported?

Málaga now seems to be included. Thanks for fixing that :)

Happy to get involved in any #mobprogramming efforts to fix future bugs.

Frankfurt (via Heidelberg) - Zagreb is missing (EC113/112/213/212)

Eurostar connection from Lille Europe to London St. Pancras is missing. It's showing up for Bruxelles-Midi, as well as the opposite direction.

No trains from Weimar to Erfurt?

All stations north of Belfast are missing (all services operated by Northern Ireland Railways, a subsidiary of Translink), including Derry, Ballymena, Coleraine, Portrush, Larne, Antrim, Carrickfergus, Bangor.

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.

https://tagtidtabeller.resrobot.se/tidtabell/_31060.pdf

X-tåget Gävle-Sundsvall is missing. https://xtrafik.se/Content/130013/Grundtidtabell-X-taget-OKB-211212-221210.pdf

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.

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).

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.

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"

There is a daily night train from Vienna to Kiev Pass via Budapest, Zahony, Lviv.

Lovely tool!
You're currently missing (night train) D 300 from Berlin Hbf to Stockholm Central (via Hamburg Hbf, Malmö Central), operated by Snälltåget.
https://www.snalltaget.se/en/berlin

Maybe you can also use this:
https://data.oebb.at/#default/datasets
additionally to the DB-API

By the way, great tool! Love it

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 :)

Hello, None of the lines from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodalies_de_Catalunya appears on the map (for example when looking at Barcelona Sants or Latour de Carol stations)

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).

They si a train missing. It’s the 469 Nightjet from Paris Est to Wien Hauptbahnhof

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

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.)

ICE 92 and 93 from Hamburg to Vienna is missing

ICE 595 from Kiel Hbf to Ulm Hbf (and vice versa) is missing.
For example on the 20th of May 2023, 06:13 (MEZ) departure time.

Night train EN 60237 from Stuttgart to Rijeka is missing.

Missing most trains in Serbia, but the most important one is the high speed train between Belgrade and Novi Sad

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! 😄
