Non-official Python wrapper and CLI tool for Trainline
I wrote a French blog post about it here
🎁 I added a tiny Docker image to use the tool very easily
- Python 3
- pip3
pip3 install -U trainline
trainline_cli.py --help
Examples :
trainline_cli.py --departure="Toulouse" --arrival="Bordeaux" --next=12hours
trainline_cli.py --departure="Paris" --arrival="Marseille" --next=1day
or the shorter call :
trainline_cli.py -d Toulouse -a Bordeaux -n 12h
trainline_cli.py -d Paris -a Marseille -n 1d
Example output :
departure_date;arrival_date;duration;number_of_segments;price;currency;transportation_mean;bicycle_reservation
15/10/2018 08:19;15/10/2018 10:26;02h07;1;36,0;EUR;train;30,0
15/10/2018 08:19;15/10/2018 10:26;02h07;1;37,5;EUR;train;30,0
15/10/2018 08:19;15/10/2018 10:26;02h07;1;95,5;EUR;train;30,0
[...]
You can then open it with your favorite spreadsheet editor (and play with the filters) :
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import trainline
results = trainline.search(
departure_station="Toulouse",
arrival_station="Bordeaux",
from_date="15/10/2018 08:00",
to_date="15/10/2018 21:00")
print(results.csv())
Example output :
departure_date;arrival_date;duration;number_of_segments;price;currency;transportation_mean;bicycle_reservation
15/10/2018 08:00;15/10/2018 10:55;02h55;1;5,0;EUR;coach;unavailable
15/10/2018 08:00;15/10/2018 10:50;02h50;1;4,99;EUR;coach;unavailable
15/10/2018 08:19;15/10/2018 10:26;02h07;1;20,5;EUR;train;10,0
[...]
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import trainline
Pierre = trainline.Passenger(birthdate="01/01/1980", cards=[trainline.AVANTAGE_FAMILLE])
Sophie = trainline.Passenger(birthdate="01/02/1981")
Enzo = trainline.Passenger(birthdate="01/03/2012")
Nicolas = trainline.Passenger(birthdate="01/01/1996", cards=[trainline.AVANTAGE_JEUNE])
Nicolas.add_special_card(trainline.TGVMAX, "YourCardNumber")
results = trainline.search(
passengers=[Pierre, Sophie, Enzo, Nicolas],
departure_station="Toulouse",
arrival_station="Bordeaux",
from_date="15/10/2018 08:00",
to_date="15/10/2018 21:00",
bicycle_with_or_without_reservation=True)
print(results.csv())
Example output :
departure_date;arrival_date;duration;number_of_segments;price;currency;transportation_mean;bicycle_reservation
15/10/2018 08:19;15/10/2018 10:26;02h07;1;36,0;EUR;train;30,0

You can use the trainline
tool with the Docker image
You may execute :
docker run -it --rm thibdct/trainline --departure="Toulouse" --arrival="Bordeaux" --next=12hours
The Docker image is built on top of Google Distroless image, so it is tiny :)
I also built a bash wrapper to execute the Docker container easily.
Install it with :
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tducret/trainline-python/master/trainline.sh \
> /usr/local/bin/trainline && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/trainline
You may replace /usr/local/bin
with another folder that is in your $PATH
Check that it works :
trainline --help
trainline --departure="Toulouse" --arrival="Bordeaux" --next=12hours
You can upgrade the app with :
trainline --upgrade
and even uninstall with :
trainline --uninstall
- Create a sort function in Folders class (to get the cheapest trips first for example)
- Add filter for class (first, second), for max_duration
- Implement
get_station_id
- Implement the use of passengers during search
- Calculate total price with bicycle reservation if search 'with_bicyle' (and export it in csv)
- Calculate total price for all the passengers (and export it in csv) => may need to create a class for Folder
- Create the CLI tool and update README
