My Firefox extension adding extra platform information to SNCF Gares & Connexions has just been approved by Mozilla 🎉

Grab it here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/on-voie-tous/ - works on Android and desktop on pages like https://www.garesetconnexions.sncf/fr/gares-services/nice/horaires

Source code available here https://github.com/bovine3dom/on_voie_tous/

Hat tip to @HaTetsu for pointing out that the platforms were already there, waiting to be exposed

Two SNCF Gares & Connexions departures boards side by side. The left hand window has many more platforms shown because my extension On Voie Tous is running

Someone at the SNCF clearly spotted this and rather than saying "gosh passengers do want to know things about their trains, maybe we should become more like a competent railway company", they have stopped transmitting the platform information and so the extension no longer works and passengers can no longer catch their trains as efficiently 👍

Great job guys 👍

If you'd like a replacement in the meantime, Carto Tchoo has platform predictions https://carto.tchoo.net/43.70479,7.26174,15.09431,0,55/8775605
