I have a script on AWS which scrapes the UK National Rail website for my commute every few minutes between set times in the morning and afternoon, and sends me a Slack notification if there are delays or cancellations.
I could check manually but train problems are actually infrequent enough that I usually don't bother, although they are highly disruptive when they do happen.
- jackpotek 9y agoHey, I work for company that works with UK National Rail. Where are you located? Are you looking for a job? Which technologies have you been using?

- joefarish 9y agoThat sounds really useful, have you thought about putting it up on Github?
