ValueError: could not convert string to float: 'No Departures' in HA 2023.5

After upgrading Home Assistant to 2023.5 I now get a ValueError: could not convert string to float: 'No Departures' Complete output from log is below:

Logger: homeassistant.components.sensor
Source: components/sensor/__init__.py:583
Integration: Sensor (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 18:55:38 (2 occurrences)

Error adding entities for domain sensor with platform realtime_trains_api

    numerical_value = float(value)  # type:ignore[arg-type]
ValueError: could not convert string to float: 'No Departures'

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

I replaced the following code in sensor.py at lines 203 and 204:

    if nextDepartureEstimatedTs is None:
        self._state = "No Departures"

with

    if nextDepartureEstimatedTs is None:
        self._state = "0"

and I no longer get the error. There is probably a more elegant way of doing this, but the integration now runs without errors. However instead of showing "No departures" it now looks like this.

I have the same issue.
