Train Time Finder For TFW Services
What is this?
This is a python script that uses Transport For Wales' API to get train arrival and departure times.
How do I use this?
python3 trainTimes.py <origin> <destination> <time> <date>
trainTimes.py also serves as an example as to how the library is used.
| Attribute | Type |
|---|---|
origin |
str |
destination |

time |

date |

NOTE: both time and date are subject to change in the future, mostly date, which
is likely to change to datetime.
Examples
>>> import station
>>> station = station.Departures("GBCDF", "GBQQM", "2023-10-10", "12:00")
>>> station
<station.Departures object at 0x7f296cd40b50>Station returns a station.Departures object. station.legs returns the departures
from GBCDF to GBQQM.
>>> station.legs

>>>Why did you make this?
At the time of writing this (almost two years ago) the Transport For Wales app was VERY slow, as such, this was a lot faster if all I was doing was remembering when my train was supposed to depart.
