Hello,
The error is due to the anti-bot protection from Datatome. which protects Trainline's APIs from scraping.

Is there any work-around this protection ?

Hello there,

it seem - for an unknown reason - that there are no more 403 error ; sometimes a python error that I think is due to some request deny, but most of the time, it works.
