What

getStation lower-cases the id before the lookup, so GB-DOVER and gb-dover are the same station. Cache keys use the station's own id, so they do not fragment by case.

Does /v1/stations/GB-Dover/tides work?

Show the answer
Yes. getStation lower-cases the id, and the cache key uses station.id, not the id from the URL.
