🚊 Check if ticket barriers are open at UK stations

Primary LanguageJavaScript

gatesopen

Telegram bot that uses crowdsourced data to tell you whether the ticket barriers at a UK train station are open or not. Enables, but does not condone fare evasion.

Setup

You need to create the file secrets.js in the root of the project. This needs to contain module.exports.telegram.token = 'YOUR_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN'. The app also needs access to a local redis db, and you need to run util/populate-redis.js (it will hang after finishing, just give it like 5 seconds).
