An iOS Scriptable widget that displays real-time DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit) train information. Track northbound or southbound trains from your chosen stations, and configure automatic return stations for specific time periods.
This widget is designed for the Scriptable app on iOS. It presents upcoming DART trains for a selected station, using live data from the Irish Rail API. You can configure a primary station/direction and optionally a secondary "return" station/direction for specific hours of the day.
- Live train schedules from Irish Rail API
- Configurable main and return stations
- Automatic time-based station switching (e.g., from 12:00 to 20:00)
- Color indicator for return time period
- Optimized for both Home and Lock Screen widgets
- Simple, modern design

2. Create a new script and paste in the contents of dartWidget.js.
3. Save the script with a descriptive name, such as DART Dublin Train Widget.
