## What is Platform?

Platform puts the essential information from a UK railway departure board on your iPhone—clear, immediate and easy to read.

Designed for regular commuters, Platform remembers up to four stations and shows the departures relevant to the journeys you make most often, in the app or in your personal departure board home screen widget.

• Live departure times and service updates  
• Expected times, delays and cancellations  
• Platform information when available  
• Up to four saved stations  
• Automatic time-based switching between journeys  
• Instant manual switching whenever plans change  
• A quick-glance home-screen widget  
• Distinctive UK departure-board-inspired design  

Platform is deliberately lightweight. There are no maps, complicated journey-planning screens or unnecessary distractions—just the information you need to catch your train.

Live railway information is supplied using National Rail data. Platform is independently developed and is not an official National Rail app.
