Repair

How to fix it

  1. 1

    Find the reported trip and sort its stop_times.txt rows by stop_sequence.

  2. 2

    Supply both times at the affected boundary from the timetable. When arrival and departure are the same event, use the same value for both; preserve hours above 24 for overnight service.

  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.
