Repair

How to fix it

  1. 1

    Check the intended time and the rules for the reported field.

  2. 2

    Use a value such as 08:05:00. In stop_times.txt, a next-day time in the same service day can be 25:05:00; do not wrap it to 01:05:00. Other files, including timeframes.txt, have different limits.

  3. 3
    Check the result

    After a repair, rebuild the archive and validate it again. Confirm that the affected records are correct and that no new related notices appeared. A reviewed warning or informational notice may remain when it describes intentional, supported data.
