There are a lot of countries that have multiple operators running trains.
I have tried to make a list of the train operators a few months ago, it now can be found here

To my surprise, it seems that Croatian Railroads (HŽPP) does have a GTFS-format dataset available at http://www.hzpp.hr/Media/Default/GTFS/GTFS_files.zip.
The source (and the original) claim that the data is refreshed daily at 01:00.

The current table is very useful for getting an overview of what data is available, but not where to find it. I noticed that the names of the operators are linked, but the links simply point to the official site of the operator.

It'd be great to have direct links to the relevant page for each operator's official API (or to relevant info about unofficial APIs if applicable), as a separate column, I think.

The primary drawback is that these links may well become outdated as operators restructure their websites and move stuff around. One could argue though that an incomplete/possibly partially broken list is better than nothing.

I'll gladly open a PR with a column of such links for some of the operators, to start things off. I figured I should check first whether such a PR would be accepted/if it sounds like a good idea, though. Thoughts?

For example, adding the official Dutch Railways API would be useful.

Since I live on country side and going to work in Berlin I need take the RB35 which belongs to NEB which is also a member in the VBB.

I would love to see delay or at least outage for this line, but even VBB app is not showing this information except it's a planned construction work.

They have several lines in Brandenburg and currently they have just some alert boxed on their landing page for important notes:
some examples:

• https://web.archive.org/web/20171022003839/http://www.neb.de/
• https://web.archive.org/web/20171030102231/http://www.neb.de/
• https://web.archive.org/web/20171022003839/http://www.neb.de/
• https://web.archive.org/web/20170818142020/http://www.neb.de/
• https://web.archive.org/web/20180513091449/http://www.neb.de/

And this seems to be for planned changes:
https://web.archive.org/web/20171030102231/http://www.neb.de/

And here is the proof that VBB is not showing these changes (even outage) up in their result:

So I guess because their regional they don't use their own HAFAS, that's also the reason why they have a form on their page, but it's redirecting to VBB.

Let's imagine I can convince them to publish additionally something more machine readable for the outages. What would be the perfect format?
Does GTFS fits for that just use case, especially if they don't have anything similar to HAFAS?

Personally, for me a RSS feed or a file with a content like this would be enough:

outages: [
