Issue connecting with STOMP client (Python)

[Mariola Rubio]

Hello,

I'm trying to connect to the Network Rail train movement data feed via a STOMP client (using this tutorial). But I keep getting this error when connecting: 

Any idea what could be causing the issue?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Mariola

FYI, the debug output contains your password.

If you're on a corporate network and/or using a VPN to your company's network, you may have some outgoing TCP ports blocked.

Does the script fail immediately or does it wait, say, 15 or 30 seconds?

Hi Peter,

Oops - thanks I just changed my password!

Yes I am on a company network - I'll try it from home.

It fails after a 3-4 seconds.

Many thanks!

I have tried it again from home this time and I get a slightly different error

Any ideas what is the issue?

For context, I'm only interested in the train activation messages - I'm looking at train services that "run as required" so I want to understand which scheduled trains end up running and which do not, therefore I need the activations. As far as I can tell from the wiki, the only way to get these is from the Train Movements real time feed - is this correct? Ideally I would get the historical train activations as static data if they were stored somewhere. Do you know if this exists or will I have to do it myself by continuously running a client and storing the messages?

Thanks again in advance.

Hi Mariola,

I can replicate this error from the remote side by providing an incorrect
password; check your credentials.

Further, I recommend redacting your password more carefully.

Hi Evelyn,

Thanks for your reply - indeed that was the issue as I forgot to update the password in my code... thank you! I'm now getting the messages.

Any idea on whether I can get historic train activation data?

Hi Mariola,

Glad to be of service!

I'm not aware of any open archive of the movement feed or of historical activations. I expect that
this information does exist, and could likely be obtained either from Network Rail, from someone
who is archiving this information from the feed, or from FOCs/TOCs themselves, depending on your
use-case and customer; Obviously, that's a commercial matter that I can't help you with.

Hi Mariola,

archive.area51.dev/archive/ukrail/ may be of interest to you - it contains an archive of the Darwin PushPort feed, NROD CIF timetables, NROD TD feed and the NROD TRUST feed.

The archive collects and stores all the messages that come through those feeds, but no processing has been done on the data, so you'll still need to filter out the activation messages yourself.
