Unfortunately not working for me here; RISC OS 5.13 and NetSurf test build r9725. I get the "&20"s not in the station names, but between the date and time in the URL. I've hopefully fixed this other space issue too. Thanks for your work, Matthew, on a very useful site. No problem :) ATB, Matthew

Yes, working now, and wasn't yesterday. Thanks to Matthew for doing it, and to Roger for pointing this out. With best wishes, Peter. -- Peter, \ / zfc Yb \ Prestbury, Cheltenham, Glos.

Matthew modified it yesterday because I was getting %20's between the station name and the date. Yesterday, he modified it to remove all spaces, wherever they occurred in the entry fields. It works fine for me now (Netsurf r8643, being the last one before it gobbles up memory). -- Cheers Roger Never ask a question for which you dont already know the answer.

Thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately not working for me here; RISC OS 5.13 and NetSurf test build r9725. I get the "&20"s not in the station names, but between the date and time in the URL.

National Rail Enquiries site no longer works
The Nat Rail enquiries site, used to work until they 'updated' it http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ Now, even though I enter a time for tomorrow, it gives me a time for today, or even says I cannot enter a time in the past. -- Cheers Roger Librarians are forever passing the book on to someone else.
