Extract repeated inline styles from templates into named CSS classes in base.html: layout helpers, buttons, form groups, alert boxes, results table rules, row highlight classes, typography utilities, and empty-state styles. Remove the per-page <style> block from results.html. Update README to reflect current destinations, GraphQL data source, Circle Line timetable, configurable connection range, and GWR fare table.

# Bristol Eurostar
|
||
|
||
Source: https://git.4angle.com/edward/bristol-eurostar
|
||
|
||
Plan a trip from Bristol Temple Meads to Europe via Eurostar.
|
||
|
||
Combines GWR trains (Bristol → Paddington) with Eurostar services (St Pancras → destination) and shows all valid same-day connections, including Circle Line times for the Paddington → St Pancras transfer. Displays GWR walk-on fares, Eurostar Standard prices, seat availability, and total journey cost.
|
||
|
||
## Destinations
|
||
|
||
- Paris Gare du Nord
|
||
- Brussels Midi
|
||
- Lille Europe
|
||
- Amsterdam Centraal
|
||
- Rotterdam Centraal
|
||
- Cologne Hbf
|
||
|
||
## How it works
|
||
|
||
Train times and prices are fetched from two sources:
|
||
|
||
- **GWR** — scraped from [Realtime Trains](https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/) using httpx
|
||
- **Eurostar** — fetched from the Eurostar GraphQL API (single call returns timetable, Standard fares, and seat availability)
|
||
|
||
The Paddington → St Pancras transfer uses a real Circle Line timetable parsed from a TfL TransXChange XML file, accounting for walk time to the platform at Paddington and walk time from the platform to the St Pancras check-in.
|
||
|
||
Results are cached to disk by date and destination.
|
||
|
||
## Connection constraints
|
||
|
||
Configurable via the search form. Defaults:
|
||
|
||
| | |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Minimum Paddington → St Pancras | 50 min |
|
||
| Maximum Paddington → St Pancras | 110 min |
|
||
|
||
Valid range: 45–120 min (min), 60–180 min (max).
|
||
|
||
## GWR fares
|
||
|
||
Walk-on single fares for Bristol Temple Meads → Paddington, selected automatically by departure time:
|
||
|
||
| Ticket | Price | Restriction (weekdays) |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Super Off-Peak | £45.00 | Not valid 05:05–09:57 |
|
||
| Off-Peak | £63.60 | Not valid before 08:26 |
|
||
| Anytime | £138.70 | No restriction |
|
||
|
||
Weekends always use Super Off-Peak.
|
||
|
||
## Setup
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pip install -e ".[dev]"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Configuration
|
||
|
||
Copy or create `config/local.py` (gitignored) to override defaults:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
CACHE_DIR = '/var/cache/bristol-eurostar'
|
||
CIRCLE_LINE_XML = '/path/to/output_txc_01CIR_.xml'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Defaults (in `config/default.py`) use `~/lib/data/tfl/`.
|
||
|
||
The Circle Line XML is a TfL TransXChange timetable file. The Paddington (H&C Line) stop is `9400ZZLUPAH1`; the King's Cross St Pancras stop is `9400ZZLUKSX3`.
|
||
|
||
## Running
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
flask --app app run
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then open http://localhost:5000.
|
||
|
||
## Tests
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pytest
|
||
```
