iRail is back
By Tuinslak in iPhone, iRail, wwwAfter careful consideration with my lawyer Ywein Van den Brande, I have decided to put iRail back online. The copy of the letter to the NMBS/SNCB can be viewed here.

It is also maintained during my spare time. NMBS/SNCB never helped to create or maintain this website (nor did it show any interest to do so). I never got [...]

Mobile B-Rail website
By Tuinslak in iRail, wwwOnly one and a half year after I launched iRail, the NMBS/SNCB launched their own mobile website (with a few additional functions, but not all of them optimized for mobile view).

Due to this change, iRail was no longer able to provide any scheduling information which included Brussels-Midi. I’ve made a quick and dirty work around (by including “+ Eurostar” in the drop down menu), solving this bug. However, [...]
