Repair

How to fix it

  1. 1

    Compare the reported service window with both calendar files and feed_info.txt.

  2. 2

    Extend the declared period if the included service is confirmed, or trim an unintended calendar range. Keep feed dates and actual timetable coverage consistent.

  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.
