General Discussion • Train Tracking

No problem, thanks for the clarification. Well, before even starting to make your skin, you should find a "source" where you get that train data from. Usually, that's a site, since even if you had a local static "database" with train departures and arrivals, the "live" part regarding delays or train location can only be retrieved from some frequently updated online source.

I saw some UK sites providing such data, but you should search for these yourself, since being from there you know better than me if the provided info is comprehensive, properly updated, and overall correct. Such a site should be able to be parsed by a WebParser measure:
https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/measures/webparser/
meaning that the info you're looking for should be visible in the HTML code when you right click on the page and choose to view the page source (CTRL+F to search some of the desired field values should make it clear).

So, once you have one or two such sites that we can use, then we can talk about the code for such a skin and how to approach this. ;-)

P.S. My bad, didn't make the connection between your nickname and your location. :oops:
First I'd like to say I appreciate all the help and time you spent to help me on this subject.

I have found these two websites, that maybe could help making this skin.

https://tfw.wales/
https://www.thetrainline.com/

I have also attached two photos, one containing the idea on what I am looking for(It's just an edit of the skin you just posted :D ), and anther with a inspect element of the website to see if it's correct on what we looking for :)
