Just been told this is the case because of how Rail Europe cannot make all the API calls it would like to.

Ok then, some rail firm (DB by the look of it) is being nasty to them. It prevents Rail Europe offering full price comparison.

How do we fix this? EU law (MDMS) to oblige operators to free up their data. Because if they don’t customers lose out.

@jon Frans Timmermans did put in a deadline for this but now he has left the EU politics I doubt that date will be upheld.

@CodexNotFound the date will definitely NOT be upheld. We know that.

@jon This is long over due!

@jon yup - only a law can fix that. APIs are easy and simple and safe. The only reason for blocking access is monopolistic behaviour

@jon Looks suspiciously like a BahnCard price for DB?

@Lenny_du_Nord still a difference

@maartje I’m a bit annoyed. As you can no doubt tell 😉
