    One thing I have found with the new RTT, previously you could copy just the location and times, paste into either to Word or Exel, edit if required and then print, thus enabling you to just get the basic timing information without all the other info, now it seems you cannot do that, so when printing, half the first page is all the header info. Maybe there is a way of getting around this?

    It is messy! cannot see an easy way around it. It does not come out as a table from my browser.

    Partial solution is to screen dump the page ('Prt Scr' key) and paste into a picture editor to crop to the selection you want. Print that and/or paste it into Word.

    You can still take a screenshot of what you want without the header info and paste that elsewhere although that doesn't allow you to edit the content you have captured.

    From posts elsewhere, it seems that commercial users were taking advantage of those facilities to avoid paying for commercial use of the service. As the technology for presenting tables has changed, I doubt we’ll be seeing that back.

    I have hacked around a bit with Word and Excel, and such tabulation as I need is still possible, just more fiddly than before. You have to be confident with Word though, and be able to work with non printing characters. If you are, this will make sense; if not, a forum post is not the place to explain!

    Yes, that works and allows you to get the whole outbound schedule of the Citadel onto one side of A4 whereas printing directly from RTT made it two sides. No editing but I suppose that we will have to live with that.
    I agree that you can fiddle with it in Word or Excel but what was a quick copy/print becomes a long job.

    I've just tried copy-and-paste (which puts every item on a separate line) then a BBC BASIC proglet to change most of the new lines to TABs. (Other programming languages are available, such as Perl.) My proglet gets close but isn't quite there.

    Is it possible to view information on RTT from earlier workings, ie; yesterday or last week for example?

    Yes, just choose a date and time.

    Yes, but that was the example given so assumed that was what @badpenny was looking for.
