Repair

How to fix it

  1. 1

    Review the combined coverage of calendar.txt and calendar_dates.txt, not just one service ID.

  2. 2

    Restore missing confirmed schedules or correct date exceptions. Keep a real planned closure; do not manufacture daily service to remove the warning.

  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.
