What's New in Caltrain Schedule & Tracker
1.5.1
June 25, 2026
Calmer, clearer service alerts. • Line-wide notices no longer tag every single train in the schedule and route lists — system-wide alerts now live in the Alerts tab where they belong, so a train-specific alert actually stands out. • Clearer heads-up about live data: positions and delays come from 511 and update on each train's own schedule, so they're best-effort. We surface that note up front now instead of burying it. • On Giants game days, the map's alert pill keeps showing the game even when a routine 511 notice is also active.
