UK Trains plugin — new path for Darwin API keys (raildata.org.uk)

[siclark]

Heads-up for anyone setting up the UK Trains plugin from scratch:
National Rail has closed the old realtime.nationalrail.co.uk/OpenLDBWSRegistration page.
The "Register → My Account → API Keys → Darwin LDB" walkthrough you'll find in older docs no longer matches the live site, which has caught a couple of new users out.

The new path (free, Open by default):

1. Sign up at https://raildata.org.uk/ (the Rail Data Marketplace)
2. In the product catalogue, search for LDBWS
3. Subscribe to "Live Departure Board Web Service (LDBWS) - Public" and accept the licence
4. From your dashboard → My Subscriptions, copy the API key issued for that product
5. Paste it into the plugin's Darwin API Key field — no other config changes needed

Don't pick "Live Fastest Departure Boards" — that's a different REST product and the plugin won't authenticate against it (you'll see the device sitting on Awaiting Update).

You will need 2026.1.0 to use this new API format. Do not upgrade if you have not generated a new key from the above as your old one wont work.
