##🙋♂️ FAQ
Q: Do I need to pay for TransportAPI? A: No, but each key has a limited daily request quota. This script switches between two keys automatically to extend free usage.
Q: Can I track trains from any station? A: Yes, as long as the station has data on TransportAPI and you use valid 3-letter codes.
Q: Will this work outside the UK? A: No — TransportAPI is UK-based. For other countries, you will need to adapt the data source.
