Examples

All trains from the operator “vr” and their latest locations with speed over 30 km/h Try

{
  currentlyRunningTrains(where: {operator: {shortCode: {equals: "vr"}}}) {
    trainNumber
    departureDate
    trainLocations(where: {speed: {greaterThan: 30}}, orderBy: {timestamp: DESCENDING}, take: 1) {
      speed
      timestamp
      location
    }
  }
}

All trains from a specific departure date, with operator “vr” and “commuter line” not equal to “Z”, ordered by train number Try

{
  trainsByDepartureDate(
    departureDate: "2020-10-05", 
    where: {and: [ {operator: {shortCode: {equals: "vr"}}}, {commuterLineid: {unequals: "Z"}}]}, 
    orderBy: {trainNumber: DESCENDING}) 
  {
    trainNumber
    departureDate
    commuterLineid
    operator {
      shortCode
    }
  }
}

All running trains ordered by operator and train number Try

{
  currentlyRunningTrains(orderBy: [{operator:{shortCode:ASCENDING}},{trainNumber:ASCENDING}]) {
    operator {
      shortCode
    }
    trainNumber
  }
}

Trains that pass through “YLÖ” Try

{
  trainsByDepartureDate(departureDate: "2020-10-06", 
    where: {timeTableRows:{contains:{station:{shortCode:{equals:"YLÖ"}}}}}
    ) {
    trainNumber
    departureDate
    timeTableRows {
      station {
        name
        uicCode
      }
    }
  }
}

{
  passengerInformationMessages(
    where: {trainDepartureDate: {equals: "2024-06-11"}}
  ) {
    trainNumber
    video {
      text {
