What's New in Platforms

27.0.2

October 24, 2026

Plan a journey, then follow your train all the way. • Journey planning: any station to any station, with changes. If a connection looks at risk, you'll see the next way on. • Track a train: alerts when it's delayed or the platform changes, a Live Activity on your Lock Screen, and a reminder before your stop, with an alarm if you want one. • Coaches: how the train is made up, its unit numbers, its facilities, and how busy each coach is. • Morning and evening stations: the app opens on the board you need at that time of day. • Tap a calling point to see that station's board from when your train gets there. • Departed trains are dimmed and marked, and trains running early show it. • A new design, with Departures and Journeys tabs. • On iPad, the board and a train side by side. • Compatibility with iPhone Duo. • Send feedback from inside the app, or report a problem from any board, train or journey. Thank you to everyone who has sent feedback so far.

Fantastic app

Ever so helpful when trying to avoid the platform rush a minute before departure (as this is when platforms are announced half the time).
APIs are great 🙏

Terrible

What has happened with the latest update? Everything that was good about the previous version has gone. Totally useless now

The oracle is no more

Sadly no longer shows any platform information

Stopped working

Used to be a brilliant app that’s stopped showing platforms weeks ago

Stopped working

I used to love this app, but it stopped working 😭😭😭. Now it never updates with the confirmed platforms.
