## What is UK Train Times?

Live train times, platforms and departure boards for every National Rail station in Great Britain, plus a live map with every train on the network moving in real time. No account needed. Made in the UK by a small independent team.

EVERY TRAIN ON A LIVE MAP 
See every train on the network move between stations as it happens. Tap one to see where it's going, how late it is and what's holding it up. Filter by operator, or turn on freight to see the trains most apps never show.

DEPARTURES AND PLATFORMS AT A GLANCE
Your station board loads in seconds: live departures and arrivals, platform numbers, delays, cancellations and calling points. Clear, uncluttered and easy to read on the move.

TRACK YOUR TRAIN FROM THE LOCK SCREEN
Start tracking and your train follows you onto the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with live progress, the next stop and any delay, without opening the app.

A PAGE FOR EVERY TRAIN
Tap any train for its own page: a map that follows it, a countdown to the next stop, the platform, and an explanation when it's running late.

HOME AND AWAY, AUTOMATICALLY
Set your home station and DepartUK shows the right board at the right time: your home station in the morning, the board for your trip back in the evening.

MY TRAINS
Save the trains you catch every day. See how often they run on time, change which stops you care about, and get your usual journey on one screen.

PLAN AHEAD
Look days or weeks ahead with the journey planner. See where to change and how long it takes, or show direct trains only.

WIDGETS
Put a station board or your commute on the Home Screen and check it without opening the app.

FOR RAIL ENTHUSIASTS
- Freight and passing trains on your station board, mixed in time order
- Log the trains you've seen
- "A day on the rails": a video of every train an operator ran in a day, ready to share

DEPARTUK PREMIUM
The core app is free. Premium removes adverts and adds:
- A page for every single train
- Know why you're late: the train in front holding you up, and yesterday's train to compare against
