Track Map
The schedule times above are off by an hour in some cases - this from the official app:
UTC isn’t adjusted for daylight savings, so maybe that’s the source of the error?
It’s also not daylight savings in Europe (CET/BST) until 29th March and China doesn’t do daylight savings…
yeah this weekends schedule is a bit wonky, will look at it later
