I have not looked at it under RISC OS for years, so I
thought I would try again with NS 2.6

The stated URL complains about lack of JS, but does provide
a link to a JS free page


However, if you have a windows machine and use timetable
info routinely, it makes sense to download their offline
version from . You need to
keep it regularly updated though.

I'm sure Matthew will be interested in a bug report from you.

I've come a cropper using that site; it seems not to scrape off some

If you feel weary after just 3 miles, you might be walking too slowly.

I think that's correct.  Although the titles of the date/time gadgets
appears to be completely missing (I'm seeing two date/time gadgets
here but it sounds like you might only be able to see one of them, in
which case the other is most probably being hidden behind a veil of
Javascript), if you change the one that is initially earlier
(presumably the outgoing date/time) to be later than the other then
you will be trying to return before you leave.

Unfortunately the site contains a bit of Javascript since it was
revamped a few years back, and the formatting in NetSurf has always
been slightly iffy (I'm not sure whether these two things are
related).

You are better off using http://www.transportdirect.info - gives the
same journey/ticket information but with no reliance on Javascript,
and also does car routes and combined bus/train journeys and so forth.

Using Nat Rail Enquiries:
http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/
Typing in a known 'From' station and 'To' station names, then changing 
the words of 'Today' to 'Tomorrow' and put a time in, then press 'go'

It returns an error saying 'return journey cannot be before starting 
journey!

Apart from fiddling about altering the two 'Todays' that then become 
visible after this error, is there a way of circumventing this by a 
small change in the Netsurf program? Or is it far too difficult at 
this stage of development?
