## What is RailGrid?

RailGrid shows the trains of the Netherlands as they run: where your train is now, which platform it leaves from, whether it is late, and how busy it is likely to be.

PLAN YOUR TRIP
- Search any station and get the next trains, with changes, platforms and delays.
- Leave now or arrive around now; move to earlier or later trains in one tap.
- Recent trips and favourite stations are one tap away.

FOLLOW YOUR TRAIN
- See where your train is between two stations, the next stop and its platform.
- Every position says how it was found: Live GPS, Estimated, Scheduled or Stale.
- Platform changes and delays show the moment the operator reports them.
- A Get-off card counts down to your stop, with the platform and the next leg.

ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN
- Put your train on the lock screen: a live countdown to departure, then to your stop, with your platform; Android adds a "Get ready" alert. On iPhone it is a Live Activity that also shows in the Dynamic Island.
- Add a Next departures widget for a saved station to your home screen.

BUS, TRAM AND METRO STOPS
- Search any stop or find the stops near you, with live departures, notices and how far behind the next vehicle of the line is.

STATIONS
- Departures for every station, with platform changes highlighted.
- How busy a station is through the day. Busyness is an estimate based on the timetable, typical crowd profiles and NS crowd forecasts where available.

LIFTS AND ESCALATORS
- Is the lift at your platform working? Travellers report what they see, and the app shows recent reports next to official status where it is known.

TRAVELLERS ON THE MAP
- Turn it on and appear on the 3D map as your own figure, with a nickname and an avatar you choose: coat, glow, hair, style and a bike, dog or cat beside you.
- See who else is travelling right now, find each other at the station, and spot other travellers riding your train.
- Others see a rounded position or only the train you are on, and only while you travel or are at a station. Stop with one tap; nothing is saved.

RAILZA, YOUR AI TRAIN ASSISTANT
- Ask in your own words: "Next train from Utrecht to Leiden?" or "How busy is Amsterdam Centraal?". Railza answers from RailGrid's live data and shows the trip as a card you can follow.
- Railza can be wrong; check the station boards when it matters. You can report any answer from the app.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- No account. Favourites and recent trips stay on your phone. The train you follow stays there too, unless you put it on the lock screen of an iPhone: that trip and a push address are then kept in our server's memory until the trip ends (12 hours at most), never stored.
- Your location stays on the phone for nearby stations. It is sent only while you choose to show yourself on the map, and never kept.
- No ads and no tracking.

Light and dark looks, or follow your phone. In Dutch, English and Arabic.

RailGrid is an independent app and is not affiliated with NS (Nederlandse Spoorwegen). Train times come from the public timetable and live operator data (OVapi). Map data: OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL) and others as credited in the app.
