Hi all, I am currently working on a coursework at uni and was really interested in creating some cool visuals about the service performance across different stations. I have used the RDM (Rail Data Marketplace) KB (Knowledge Base), NWR (Network Rail) Corpus and NWR Schedule data to create a timetable for each station for each day and was looking to populate each RID with data from the HSP (Historic Service Performance) service. 

When I have started the process of populating the actual times with data from HSP I have noticed there are many RID records missing and this process is extremely slow.

I was wondering if anyone has a backup of the Darwin Push Port messages over a given period which I could use to determine the actual running times of the trains instead, or if there is some sort of archive that could be used to grab this data.

Thanks in advance.
George.

I have an archive of Darwin Push Port messages from RDM dating back as far as 7 September 2025.


It's broken down by hour and gzipped, but you can generate the download URLs programmatically quite easily if you want to mass-download them all.

As a note to anyone else reading: if you have historic Darwin Push Port data you are willing to part with, I am happy to host that in the archive too!

David
