[iRail] iRail API fixes coming soon

[Pieter Colpaert]

Hi all,

Because of the much love given for these updates and an indication of 
our biggest API users that this update would be great, you can now find 
these bug fixes of the API in production!

Please do test whether your API calls still work!

Also a shout-out to Tim Joosten, one of our newest community members who 
did an outstanding job helping to get this old code to where it is now 
(you can thank him on gitter: https://gitter.im/iRail/iRail @tjoosten or 
on twitter: https://twitter.com/x0rif). We still have a lot of issues 
open, but I'm sure that given enough time, these will be fixed as well 
in the next weeks.

Kind regards,

Pieter
