Edward Betts 71be0dd8cf Move inline styles to CSS classes; update README

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 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

pip install -e ".[dev]"

Configuration

Copy or create config/local.py (gitignored) to override defaults:

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.
