Description
Quickly and easily find out live train times and plan train journeys in the UK with this fuss-free application that has advanced features and a slick user interface. Side-swipe between three screens to access different features.
LIVE TRAIN TIMES
Set up your regular journeys, specifying the time windows in which you would usually make them. Depending on the time of day that you open the app, the journeys applicable at that time (the "active" journeys) will be presented first Take advantage of the "spotlight" feature to show specified journey(s) at the top of the home screen at all times.
You can specify up to 3 alternative source stations and 3 alternative destination stations for the same journey. You will be presented with live train times for services covering all available combinations. Perfect for where you have choices of source and destination stations and trains that cover various routes.
You can also choose to leave the destination station blank in order to see all trains passing through the source station.
Each journey must be for a direct train service, but you can specify up to 3 different journey legs. The app will present the different potential train combinations you can take, given the latest live times. The time you will have to make each connection is also presented, allowing you to work out if you have a chance of actually making the connection.
View earlier services for any given journey to display all trains still in motion, or reached their destination in the last half hour. Further, any service in the detail screen will always be available until half an hour after the train reaches its destination - allowing you to track a train's expected future progress if you are keeping an eye on a connection.
Tap on any individual train service to see a detailed breakdown of all the station stops on that service, along with the live train time status at each stop. This detail is shown on a screen to the right of the home screen, and you can side-swipe between the two screens. These two screens are related, but separate, meaning you can keep an eye on the detailed status of a train on the detail screen (refreshing it periodically) whilst swiping back to the home screen to look at the status of all the train services for that journey.
Where available, the number of carriages (where available) and train operating company is show, along with platform numbers.
JOURNEY PLANNING
Journey planning is accessed on the first of the three application screens. Select any two UK stations, a date and time of travel within the next 3 months, and optimal routes will be determined. Routes are chosen based on time, number of changes, and size of the change stations. The routes include the officially recognised transfers between stations, including walking, bus, metro and tube connections. The timetable and transfer data is provided by National Rail, and is updated each night.
For each journey presented the departure and arrival time and station is shown, along with the number of changes the journey entails. Tap on the journey to toggle the display of all the stops and transfers (if any) the journey involves.

Seems ok except why are there no times for London Overground trains? Richmond to Willesden Junction is saying no trains. All the other apps that are powered by National Rail show all services
★★★★★Niall Caldwell· Nov 8, 2019
Excellent app for UK commuters, very useful for quickly checking if my train is on time / delayed / cancelled.
★★★★☆A Google user· Mar 26, 2020
Found out about this app via the UK Rail forums and have found it to be quite simple to use. Suggestion: Are you able to implement a route map to show in real time, where each train is passing their respective signals, much like Opentraintimes or Traksy. Thanks.
