`dbrail_departures`

Pack: db-rail · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/db-rail/mcp

Live departures board for a German / European station. Pass a station NAME (“Berlin Hbf”) or a stop id from dbrail_locations. Returns upcoming departures with line/train number, destination, scheduled and real-time departure, delay in minutes, platform/track, and operator. Keyless, real-time where the operator publishes it.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`id`	string	yes	Station name (“Berlin Hbf”) or stop id from dbrail_locations.
`when`	string	no	ISO date/time to start the board from (e.g. “2026-07-25T18:00:00Z”). Defaults to now.
`mode`	string	no	Filter by transport mode. Pass “rail” for trains only (high-speed, long-distance, night, regional) — recommended at big stations, where trams/buses otherwise dominate the board. Or pass explicit MOTIS modes, comma-separated: HIGHSPEED_RAIL, LONG_DISTANCE, REGIONAL_RAIL, SUBURBAN, SUBWAY, TRAM, BUS, COACH, FERRY.
`results`	number	no	Max departures to return (default 15, max 50).
