Fantastic app

This is such a useful tool and pretty much an essential part of my daily routine.

I use widgets to monitor the status of upcoming trains for my commute every day, I use Live activities to track my journey for most commutes, especially if there are delays.

My only criticism of the current iteration is that they reduced the ability to see previous trains.
When delays occur on the rail network it’s really useful to be able to look at the previous few hours of train departures to see how they’ve been affected. We used to be able to do this but now we only get the previous 30 minutes. Which isn’t very helpful if the train journey you want runs less frequently than that.

Please bring back the ability to see all the trains for the whole day. Thank you.

Response from developer

Hey Nick, glad the app’s been useful for you! The latest update brings back earlier trains - it’s off by default but if you go into the settings menu at the top you can choose to see the last 8 hours of departures 🫡

Great app!

As someone who works on the railway I have to use some pretty odd apps to get the detailed information that I require, but this app has it all and I can’t recommend it enough the only thing I’d love to see in the app is the set/unit number for the whole train as that’d allow me to fully stop using the web tools from worldline. 5/5 Stars Highly

Doesn’t do what it says

Tried it twice at London Paddington. Zero indicative platforms were shown. Waste of money.

Very useful app

My old go-to app (LiveTrains) is no longer available so searched for another and found this one - it uses the same reliable data source and enhances what I had before with live tracking. The widget that switches train directions after lunch is a very nice touch. Highly recommended!

Exceptional!

Been looking for an app that is kinda like Flighty for tracking trains for SO long. Found this just by chance and it really does deserve to be so much more well known!

So easy to use in comparison to other apps and looks beautiful.

Only gripe (and it’s a tiny one) I can’t see the train layout on my app - may be operator specific though so not sure.

All round amazing and an absolute bargain.
