Departure Before Arrival and Missing Reports

[Legolash2o]

Hi all,

How do you generally deal with departure times that are reported to happen before the arrival? It's typically a minute.

In addition, how do you deal with planned tiplocs that do not report an actual arrival and departure? Do you estimate the times?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Liam

I just report what TRUST sends.

Thanks Peter,

What are the chances that they will be unplanned stops?

Which one of your two questions are you asking this about?  A departure being reported prior to the arrival isn't an unplanned stop.

For a timing point with no automatic (TD-driven) reporting, you have no knowledge from the open TRUST feeds of when a train stopped or passed the location.  You could infer it by subtracting from the arrival or passing time at the next auto-reporting point, or adding to the previous departure or passing time, but that's an inference rather than a fact.
