This software is not endorsed or supported by National Rail Enquiries, ATOC or any of the Train Operating Companies. I have no relationship with any of the aforementioned organisations except as a customer (passenger).

Before distributing this widget I contacted National Rail Enquires via e-mail with regard to their Fair Use Policy of the Live Departure Board service. I was asked to write to them at their head office, which I did. However 6 weeks after sending my letter I have yet to receive a reply.

As the widget only refreshes every 2 minutes (the same refresh interval their own HTML contains) and their fair use policy states that leaving a web browser on refresh is acceptable I don't believe it falls foul of this policy. There are also numerous examples of similar software which uses the Live Departure Board service in a similar way already available. I have therefore decided to go ahead and distribute it.

If you're from National Rail Enquires or ATOC and believe otherwise (or if you see any other problem with the software) then please do contact me.
