Where can I get lists of train departures (and arrivals) for stations, for the whole day, and for each day of the week?

I've been asked to help provide data for a regional web site covering a dozen or two stations, showing arrivals and departures for the whole 24 hour period.  "Obvious" example (for me) - Melksham.   This is for businesses and local residents to be able to point visitors to and say "here are the local trains".   I don't want a specific day / time of day - I want an overall departure sheet and corresponding arrivals one.

"Obvious" example (for me) - Melksham.

Departures, Monday to Friday:
06:38 to Westbury, Salisbury and Southampton
07:20 to Swindon, Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham
19:11 to Westbury, Salisbury and Southampton
19:47 to Swindon, Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham

Arrivals, Monday to Friday:
06:38 from Gloucester, Stroud and Swindon
07:20 from Westbury
19:11 from Cheltenham, Gloucester, Stroud and Swindon
19:47 from Westbury

I'll probably need to give all stations, common connections, times at the remote stations (at least on the arrivals chart), and to cover each day of the week.

This great little site might not quite be perfect for your specific needs, but it's the best I know of:

After putting in your station and date, select '00:00-23:59' in the 'What time?' tab and 'Passenger Calls' in the 'Show?' tab.  You can also show results via a specific TOC and other refinements if you play around with the various menus.

For those that haven't spotted it, realtimetrains.co.uk has had a bit of a makeover last month and had its functionality increased.

There's a whole host of improvements, you can now see freight movements which will be a priceless addition to enthusiasts (not sure whether that was available before, but I don't remember seeing it?).  It also now looks good on mobile devices and when you select the 'more detail' tab when looking at a train you get location reports down to the nearest 15 seconds in locations with modern signalling - the absolute accuracy of which might not be perfect, but that's more accurate than any system I've seen including internal railway systems - even the Working TimeTable only goes down to 30 second intervals!

There are also stock movements listed for some services (formed off and forming at terminating locations), and the sheer number of reporting locations in some areas (for example 30 between London and Reading!) allows you to keep an eye on where your train is in a detail not seen before.

Interesting thought DB publishes for principle staions (or did publish not got any for few years) a

"St^dteverbindungen"

Which is basically an arrivals and departure booklet for that Hbf. I've just found my one for Dresdan  from 18.06.2002 to 14.12.2002. Which I've just noticed gives time for both the Hbf and Neustadt. Thus f one was done for Bristol it could include both Temple Meads and Parkway.

It gives all trains from to and from Dresden to priciple staions throught out Germany from Aachen to Zwickau also some internations destinations such as Praha Wein Budapest and Warszawa. It gives overall journey time and the changes required with their times thus if you had wanted to go to Bremen you had the choice of the 06:50 from Neustadt changing in Berlin and Hanover arrivng at 12:38 or the 06:52 from the Hbf ( Neustadt 07:00) change Magdeburg arrivng at 12:38 I asumme you are on the same train from Hanover.

However it doesn't attempt to gives fares re your previous post,

I agree. Very good to use now and is rapidly replacing NRE as my default for daily running information on my commute.
