# Bristol Eurostar

Source: https://git.4angle.com/edward/bristol-eurostar

Plan a trip from Bristol Temple Meads to Europe on Eurostar.

Combines GWR trains (Bristol → Paddington) with Eurostar services (St Pancras → destination) and shows all valid same-day connections, filtering by journey time and minimum/maximum transfer window at Paddington/St Pancras.

## Destinations

- Paris Gare du Nord
- Brussels Midi
- Lille Europe
- Amsterdam Centraal

## How it works

Train times are fetched from two sources simultaneously:

- **GWR** — scraped from [Realtime Trains](https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/) using httpx
- **Eurostar** — scraped from the Eurostar timetable pages via the embedded `__NEXT_DATA__` JSON (no browser required)

Results are cached to disk by date and destination.

## Connection constraints

| | |
|---|---|
| Minimum Paddington → St Pancras | 75 min |
| Maximum Paddington → St Pancras | 2h 20m |
| Maximum Bristol → Paddington    | 1h 50m |

## Setup

```bash
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

## Running

```bash
flask --app app run
```

Then open http://localhost:5000.

## Tests

```bash
pytest
```
