Description

Most of the L trains start from tracks 19-14 in Central Railway Station. However, trains leaving very late (after midnight), leave from tracks nearer the Railway station (tracks 8-10). Which is something like 200 meters away from their normal starting location.

Reittiopas shows e.g this train starting from track 17, but actually it left from track 9 or 10.

Research direction

Reproduce the linked Reittiopas route for an L train departing after midnight, then trace where digitransit-ui obtains and displays its starting track. Confirm the source of the discrepancy and consider tracks 8-10 as the expected location for late departures; done means the displayed track matches the actual departure location.
