According to the HAFAS Raw Data Format (HRDF), the following change will be made in the *Z lines of the HRDF file FPLAN as of 17 February:
- ‘Variant’ information, currently held as a three-digit transport variant code with no technical meaning, will now be static ‘000’.
- For use cases that require a variant number, a 6-digit internal variant number is now published after the commentary.
In connection with the adjustment of the variants, there is also a change to the data record ‘Swiss Journey ID (SJYID) – list’: From 17 February, the information in the ‘Variante’ column will be published statically with the value ‘000’.
We would also like to point out that we will stop publishing this list from mid-2026. If you still need the data, please contact us promptly via opendata@sbb.ch so that we can clarify possible alternatives.
