Trainline Calling Points API Documentation Read every stop of one train leg with scheduled times, platforms and live status such as on time, delayed or cancelled. Build the request from one leg of a journey answer: timetable_id, carrier.code, departure_time, origin.code and destination.code. Coach legs have no calling points. Live status is empty more than about one day before departure. Encode the plus sign of the time offset as %2B.
