Live delays Timetables

Live delays and timetables of All German rail (DELFI via gtfs.de) in Germany, recorded since 28 Sep 2026 from a GTFS feed and live data published on realtime.gtfs.de, which the archive converts to GTFS-RT. It carries the trains of Deutsche Bahn (DB) and the other German rail operators.

Pick a day on the calendar. Each day is one file with everything recorded that day, in Germany local time. You choose the format on the next page: a spreadsheet (CSV, opens in Excel, LibreOffice or Google Sheets) or Parquet (a compact table format for code).

Choose the first and last day: you get one zip with a file per day.

The planned timetable: stations, routes, trips and times. It comes as GTFS, the standard timetable format, one Parquet table per GTFS file. 7 versions stored, a new one when All German rail (DELFI via gtfs.de) changes the coming week’s trains.

All versions as Parquet tables

Tools that need a GTFS zip: pip install gtfs-parquet, then gtfs_parquet.write_gtfs(gtfs_parquet.read_parquet(folder), "gtfs.zip") on a folder of the tables. This version was stored on 31 Oct 2026, 11:08 and is the current one.

Accounts are free: you sign in with a code sent to your email, no password.

Every day is a Parquet file at a fixed address. Read it straight from DuckDB, Polars or anything that reads Parquet over HTTP: only the columns and rows your query needs are downloaded. You need a free API token from an account.

Live delays on 12 Oct 2026, with DuckDB

INSTALL httpfs; LOAD httpfs;

-- The final delay of each train at each stop, in minutes: the 20 largest
SELECT route, stop_name, scheduled_arrival, arrival_delay_min, delay_source
FROM read_parquet('https://data.train-archive.eu/daily/provider=de-gtfsde/service=TripUpdate/date=2026-10-12.parquet?token=YOUR_TOKEN')
WHERE trip_status = 'scheduled'
ORDER BY arrival_delay_min DESC NULLS LAST
LIMIT 20;

The same, in Python with Polars

import polars as pl

token = "YOUR_TOKEN"
day = pl.read_parquet(f"https://data.train-archive.eu/daily/provider=de-gtfsde/service=TripUpdate/date=2026-10-12.parquet?token={token}")

# The final delay of each train at each stop, in minutes: the 20 largest
print(
    day.filter(pl.col("trip_status") == "scheduled")
    .select("route", "stop_name", "scheduled_arrival", "arrival_delay_min", "delay_source")
    .sort("arrival_delay_min", descending=True, nulls_last=True)
    .head(20)
)

Or save the file, with curl

curl -L -o de-gtfsde-TripUpdate-2026-10-12.parquet \
  'https://data.train-archive.eu/daily/provider=de-gtfsde/service=TripUpdate/date=2026-10-12.parquet?token=YOUR_TOKEN'

Replace YOUR_TOKEN with one of your API tokens. Delays are in seconds in the Parquet files; the examples turn them into minutes.

Stations of the current timetable

import json, urllib.request
import polars as pl

base, token = "https://data.train-archive.eu", "YOUR_TOKEN"
latest = json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(f"{base}/de-gtfsde/static/latest.json?token={token}"))
stops = pl.read_parquet(f"{base}/{latest['tables']['stops']}?token={token}")
print(stops.select("stop_id", "stop_name"))

gtfs.de's realtime feed (CC BY 4.0) carries DB long-distance trains only where their lines cross the VRR and NVBW areas. From 23 October 2026, the DB Fernverkehr trains it lacks (international legs, SyltShuttle, EC/ECE, some IC lines) are added from Deutsche Bahn's Timetables API (DB API Marketplace, CC BY 4.0), with delays at German stations only.

Every stop in the latest timetable (250,425), buses and trams included: this timetable covers all public transport. The live data is filtered to trains.
