Notes

There is an example of the text format in the repository. It is a close copy of the PDF timetable. The dates require some manual editing into one of the following formats:

• 1 Runs from 31 March 2019
• 2 Runs between 6 April 2019 and 20 April 2019. Runs on 4 May 2019.
• 3 Runs between 6 January 2019 and 2 February 2019, not running 20 January 2019, not running 21 January 2019
• 4 Runs until 30 March 2019. Runs between 25 May 2019 and 1 June 2019

Please note:

• Where only a from date is specified the to date is assumed to be the end date specified at the top of the page
• Where only a to date is specified the from date is assumed to be the start date specified at the top of the page
• All dates must have the year added to them
• A full stop . denotes separate calendar date ranges. Using the examples above all journeys with calendar 4 will have two GTFS calendars
• Indirect services are not yet implemented
