Our "Cancellation Map" provides a useful quick look at where GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) train services have issues, scraping data from an industry feed.   Whilst is is NOT using SMS alerts, the following message from GWR ...
Quote
From 1 January 2023, we will no longer provide SMS alerts from the GWR JourneyCheck platform.

The GWR JourneyCheck website and email alerts will continue as normal.

For customers who currently receive SMS alerts, these will be automatically transferred to the registered email address on your account from 1 January 2023.
 
To make changes to your alert’s preferences or personal details, please visit https://www.journeycheck.com/greatwesternrailway/
... causes me to identify that there's a risk in the various changes / tidy ups / modernisation that's going on that there may also be changes to, or loss of, the feed we use.

Until 1st January, it's very hard to assess the risk - just offering a "heads up" now.  Other and more modern feeds are available, but there could be significant coding work in making use of them, and I'm no longer as nimble at making such changes as I used to be - just be warned.

Hard to be definite with anything these days but, as I understand it, it is only text messages which are being dropped due to the cost. Those who currently have texts will now have them via email.

Initial signs are good ... as with other things "ticking over" into the New Year ...

With our software making Noah's ark look new, and sitting on top of industry feeds which change from time to time, I am nervous every year as to how we will do - on both the change of the year number which happened 8 hours ago, and (yet to come) when industry technical staff are back at work and switch off things that they're no longer supporting / change formats for the new year - the peak time for such things will be Tuesday 3rd January this year.

* The cancellation map looks good
* The journey check link looks good
* The Next Departures lines need attention and have done for a while - some work, many are broken
* "On this Day" appears to be working and although it's a repeat now, I'm leaving it in place for a while

2022 was the quietest year for many on the forum - a further post / analysis to look at this, in due course. But still at a vibrant level ... no seismic changes here to start 2023;  welcome, enjoy, continue to post everyone - even if there's an unfortunate "campaign fatigue" at present due to the lack of a reliable daily passenger train service anywhere in Great Britain.
