Poor planner

No way to select quickest or shortest journeys - so the planner gives me round robin trips taking double the amount of time than others in London (same departure and destination!).

Pinned Journeys

Allows me to pin journeys for future lookup, so I can immediately know platforms and departure times. Has up to date platforms and arrival / departure times, with reasons for any delays.

Great and simple!

Easy to use, no clutter, no nonsense.

Needs work

Works ok but not straight forward. Takes time to work the ap out saved and pin journeys need revision

Goodbye Trainline

Found this app cheaper than Trainline also it puts offs if your tickets into Apple wallet which is needed if you need to claim compensation due to late train. Trainline does not do that once your journey has finished

Use it every day

Best app for live train times without stuffing ads or tickets down your throat! So enjoyable to use.

Best rail app

Railboard is the app I use 90% of the time to navigate the rail system. I say 90%… the other 10% of the time I use Trains app - it has a ‘Next train home’ button - brilliant when one’s head is fuzzy and there are several stations to choose from. Add that function to Railboard and I’ll use it 100% of the time.

The best train app out there

This is hands down the best app out there. It has never let me down. Accurate information, easy to understand, interface is simple, platform information, headcode, train destination and the ability to pin journeys. I would be totally lost without this app!! I tell everyone to download it

Railroad review

Great app to find trains

Does not have all train stations

The app does not have all the latest info from national rail.

This is the one.

This is by far the best one I’ve used. I’m a train driver and it better than my own company’s app.

Switch to this for rail planning and ticket purchases

I was really sick of the platform decay of other rail booking apps in the UK. You know the ones which pop up adverts for hotel booking or “cashback” opportunities when you’re booking a ticket to the office. This app simply let me book a ticket and add it to my wallet. It just works, so I will keep using it.

Best rail app out there!

My new favourite app

Finally! A UK rail app that shows live departures and offers a nice booking experience (split tickets, Apple Pay, invoice, add to calendar etc).
All without ads. Excellent.

Superb

My go to app for train times. Invariably accurate and just seems to work

Still the best - it’s a continuing story!

Easy to use and responsive support adding additional features

Excellent app

Does exactly what it is supposed to do, live data from national rail, but presented in an elegant fast UI! Great job!

Easy to use

I find it much easier to use than the other planners on the market. I particularly like the ability to add to calendar and to select via a particular station. I wish they would add the fare zone for the stations so that I could more easily extend my existing ticket. Eg I have a one to six zone pre paid ticket and don’t always know if my destination is out of the zones.

Why won’t you offer me a super saver and tell me return train times?

I want to buy a super saver return to London and see what time options I have for my return journey. But the only way I can get a super saver is saying I want an open return in which case I can’t see return times. If I try to view return times, you won’t offer me a super saver ticket, only advance fares which I don’t want

Could you make your app any more annoying? I doubt it

Does everything it needs

One of the best designed apps that I use.
This app makes such a huge difference to my regular multi-route train travel. It is so functionally designed to suit how I want to search journeys, buy tickets, check timings etc. It is minimal and intuitive. Offers split tickets. Thank you to those who developed it.
