iRail supports digital creativity concerning mobility in Belgium. This is an attempt to make the railway time schedules in Belgium easily available for anyone.
Our main site consists of a very easy mobile website to look up time schedules using our own API.
Native applications using the iRail API and created or supported by the iRail team are named BeTrains and RailerApp.
API Documentation can be found at https://docs.irail.be.

iRail caches large amounts of data in memory. At least 2GB RAM is required.
When using the docker image, use the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS environment variable to set memory flags, for example
-Xms1200M -Xmx1700M.
GTFS calendar dates are filtered during ingestion using gtfs.static.range.back and gtfs.static.range.forward,
in days, including both boundary dates. These settings default to 2 days in the past and 62 days in the future.
Trips and stop times without service in this window are excluded from the internal model.
Stations are stored in the stations database table. They can be filled with data from the provided SQL file. A complete list of stations can be found in the irail/stations repository.
