tripStopovers(tripId)

All stopovers for a given trip (all stations a given train passes). Obtain a tripId using the journeys(origin, destination, [opt]) method. Returns a Promise that resolves in a list of stopovers.

Example

const tripId = '127###20190627' // taken from the journeys example above
korail.tripStopovers(tripId).then(…)

[
    {
        type: "stopover",
        stop: {
            type: "station",
            id: "0001",
            name: "서울"
        },
        arrival: null,
        departure: "2019-06-27T12:00:00.000+09:00"
    },
