Entry field «Train designation»
Here you enter the train you are searching for. You can search for a very specific train (e.g. TGV 5164) as well as an entire category of trains (e.g. TGV only).
Entry field «Date»
Here you can enter a date as an additional search criterion. The search will then be for trains running on the given date. Unlike the timetable information, the field is not preset with the current date. The date given should be in the form of day, month and year, in each case with two digits.
However, you can also click on “Calendar”. Another window then opens up in which you can select a date from a calendar. Using the “«” and “»” buttons you can scroll backwards and forwards through the monthly calendar. By clicking the date on a calendar page you can select a specific day of travel; click “ use Highlighted Date ” to copy this date into the entry field of your query form.
Entry field «Time»
A time can be entered here as an additional search criterion. The search will then be for trains running at the time given.
The time should be input in the form of hours and minutes, in both cases with two digits.
Entry field «Max. results»
This allows you to choose how many trains/lines in total should be displayed. The default setting is for 100. The number that can be selected individually is between 100 and 500.
Button «Search for trains»
The preferred train/s is/are shown.
Button «Delete entry»
This means all settings (train designation, date, time, max. results) are deleted.
