Train to Yerevan Added

On June 14th, an extended train route to Armenia was launched. Previously, it ran from Tbilisi to Yerevan, but during the summer period it now starts from Batumi. On this occasion, I finally added the first international train to the website. Please welcome: 201 Batumi → Yerevan, 202 Yerevan → Batumi.

I was hesitant to tackle this task for a long time, as the entire website was originally designed only for Georgian Railway trains. You might think, a train is a train, what’s the difference? But there is one, and it’s fundamental. Georgian Railway trains in the schedule always have only one timestamp - the departure time, which for the final station means the arrival time. International trains have two such timestamps, more familiarly: both departure and arrival. As a result, I had to dig into the code of every frontend page and all data generators.

Another feature: the “every other day” schedule. This definitely needs to be displayed on the website, and since in one month the train might run on even days, and in another - on odd days, this can only be clearly shown with a calendar. This was successfully implemented and also came in handy for the Tbilisi - Ozurgeti train, which also runs every other day.

It seems everything is ready for displaying the train to Baku when (if) it is launched.
