The worker scripts A & B rely on several deprecated ticket properties (Fahrplan.Date, Fahrplan.Start). They should be enhanced so that they use Fahrplan.Datetime and fully understand the timezone information. It might be neccessary to also add some mechanism to map worker-timezone onto something different, e.g. when recorder and storage are in different timezones.

A possible alternative, making the API timezone aware, seems more complicated and less desirable.

I think all scripts should support full ISO 8601 dates with timezone. The API should do any timezone conversion for the client. We could provide UTC only, but this would also require script changes.
