[iRail] October third mini-hack

Hi everyone,

I got good news and bad news.

The good news is that NMBS/SNCB is opening up their data for 1 full day!
All train schedules, train locations, delays and so on will be available
for October the third.

The bad news is that the 3d of October there is not one train going to
show any sign of movement as the SNCB/NMBS is on strike. But let's not
sit in a corner and weep. Let's do something iRail would do:

In for a 1 hour hack? Let's hack iRail.be into the coolest notice, the
coolest alternative (for instance a simple tweet for a carpool app?), or
maybe you have a nice message to display?

All code that is shared as a reply until the second of October will be
displayed randomly on iRail.be the 3d of October.

Kind regards,

Pieter
