Hi,
I saw the following two lines in the departures feed last night:
1475189543,"South Station","529","Worcester / Union Station",1475189100,1800,,"Arriving" 1475189543,"South Station","781","Readville",1475190900,0,,""
Worcester 529's status was "Arriving" which I hadn't seen before. Is this new or potentially a bug?
Readville 781 had been cancelled and replaced with shuttle buses, but the status was an empty string. I expected this to read either "Cancelled" or "Shuttle".
Thanks, Eric

Regarding 529: Neither a bug nor a new feature, just an unusual occurrence. The station staff decided to label the train as "arriving" on the big board and so that's what was reflected in the feed. Without having been there don't know what event prompted staff to put the unusual message on the board.
Train 781 should have read "cancelled," we'll look in to why it didn't.
