That's the danger of quoting IP numbers instead of URLs.


The IP numbers are not the problem, you need to use
http://217.23.229.206/jpclient.exe?newQuery=newQuery and then it
will work.


What's traveline north east and cumbria got to do with Waterloo?


Despite the name, all of the regional traveline sites have rail data for the
whole country. However the North East site is the only one to show the
booked platform numbers as for some reason it was decided that it would be a
sensible use of public money to have a completely different interface to the
journey planner for each region.
