null value of realtime_platform?

Hello, I'm making a dashboard and lately the last couple weeks I've noticed:
All trains with agency.name = "Pågatåg" have their scheduled_platform & realtime_platform "null".
Everything else works as intended on my dashboard with buses showing correctly. But its just these trains that are a big part of the dashboard.

Does anyone know why? It used to work just fine before.

Thanks in advance

  • Hej Oliver! 

    Since a couple of days back, train information in the underlying dataset for our Realtime APIs (GTFS Sweden 3) is being sourced from Trafikverket instead of using the regional operators data. This results in more correct train data, especially farther in the future, but also results in the loss of scheduled platform information, since Trafikverket doesn't provide this data in the data stream which we are using. The switch to Trafikverkets data was necessary as the underlying data streams are shared with ticket distribution data streams, where it is important that this data is correct and of a consistent quality. Unfortunately, this results in a temporary setback for the train data quality in regions where the quality is above average.

    In the long term, we aim to restore this information by also ingesting Trafikverkets realtime data where platform data is included, but we cannot provide an exact time as to when we will be able to implement this.
