    Default Distances from railway stations

    Does anyone know why some pubs do not show the distance from the nearest railway station? An example is this one, between Lancaster and Morecambe. Most pubs seem to show the distance, even the Station in Ilkley, which is directly opposite the station!

    If there's a known fix it would be handy to be able to correct these when seen.

    I think Dave ran a script at a certain point in time, so pubs added since then do not have these details.

    Request to the boss: can you run an update please!

    Well I just looked into it and it turns out I ran that script on my own PC then uploaded it to the server as it was going to be painfully slow otherwise. I'll see if I can figure out a way of getting it running properly.

    In the mean time I should probably get all of the stations that are in the wrong place moved to the right place.

    The script is now running at regular intervals on the server - it should update within a couple of hours of pubs being listed.

    I still need to refresh the lists around the stations that I moved and add in a few stations that are missing.

    Just checked and the latest pub has nearby stations (The Pickled Parrot). The odd bit is that I didn't know this new micropub was opening and it is only just over a mile away from me.

    So you'll be popping out for a photo and maybe a review, then?

    I think you need to write a script to update yourself at regular intervals!! (Let me know when you have one - I would pay good money for that...)
    On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement

    Not sure if this was done as a one-off, but I have noticed other new stations that are missing, eg; Ashlely Down and Portway Park & Ride, both in Bristol.
