[iRail] GTFS - Data Expired

Wed Dec 28 13:28:16 UTC 2016

Dear David,

We have heard back from STIB. They acknowledge the problem. It is 
probably due to them launching an open data portal just before their 
holiday and having broken the update cycle in some way...

The fact that they did not reply earlier is because their data team is 
on holiday and will not be able to provide an update of the dataset 
until after the end of the year holidays. How Google at this point is 
still able to provide MIVB/STIB information is a riddle to me.

I'm incredibly annoyed by this. I hope MIVB/STIB will act quickly, yet 
at this moment, it is out of our control. Unless we'd start scraping 
their website for a more reliable data stream...

Kind regards,

Pieter
