I created a script with power shell that notifies me before I leave the office if my train is on time or isn’t. See the comment for another image of when the service isn’t on time!

    Cool! So now you can spend more time debugging that awful code that your previous coworker wrote years ago :)

    What API do you use for that?

    Also in case of not on time, adding delay information might be useful, if available.

    Nice, of course if you lived in the S.E. of England you could just display an image saying your train is delayed.

    How about saying it's late or delayed?

    When it’s delayed it’ll show the next service available and how many minutes the original service is delayed by.

    @finncya everyone in the UK imagines that the German trains always run whatever the weather and are punctual and comfortable. Is that not true? 😮😮

    Is that trainId really useful? You can also update your script to lock screen if you will be missing that train 😝

    @gitpush I find myself doing things like that often too. it's a lot of fun, you learn new things, it kills some time, it's totally worth it!
