Description

As discussed thoroughly in https://github.com/iRail/iRail/issues/466, it seems like SNCB/NMBS has shut off their mgate.exe-flavoured API in favour of a (mostly) rest.exe-style one. We should check if the (somewhat outdated) rest.exe implementation in #134 can be used to query it.

Some relevant technical details:
