Train Delays SK shows which trains in Slovakia are running late right now, by how many minutes, and exactly where they are. It finds you a connection from one station to another and reminds you when to leave for your train. Open the app and the data is there, with no sign-up and no account. LIVE • Every train that is currently delayed, in one list • Delay colour-banded: under 5 minutes, 5–9 minutes, 10 minutes or more • Service type at a glance — Os, REX, R, Ex, IC, EC, EN, SC, RJ, RGJ, LE and replacement buses • Origin and destination with departure and arrival time • The last station where the train was recorded • Search by number, name, operator or station — works without diacritics too • Sort by delay, by time or by train name • Pull down to load the latest data WATCHED TRAINS • Tap the bell on a train and choose where you board, how long before departure you want to leave, and whether it's just today's trip or chosen days of the week • Time to leave: an alarm as long before departure as you set • Doesn't run: for a repeating watch, a notice — usually the evening before — when the timetable says the train doesn't run that day, with the next train if there is one. It goes by the timetable in the app and doesn't know about disruptions • New departure time: for a repeating watch, a notice when the timetable moves the train's departure • The alarm and timetable notices are planned on your phone, so they arrive even without signal • Tap the alarm and the app loads the train's current delay and position and shows when to leave • If the delay can be loaded in advance, the notification includes it too — but that isn't guaranteed • One watch is free, with no time limit. Each additional watch is unlocked by a short ad — a repeating watch for 7 days, a one-off trip until it's over. You can watch up to 5 trains • Your watched trains are listed under Favorites, with the next alarm CONNECTIONS • Search for a connection between two stations on the day and time you choose • Direct trains and journeys with changes, with the time you have to change • The timetable ships inside the app, so search works offline • The journey: where you board and alight, and the stops in between • When online, live delays for the trains on your journey and an in-app warning when a change is at risk • Find a station without typing diacritics MAP • Live position of delayed trains on a map of Slovakia • Marker colour shows how late the train is; the arrow shows its heading • The map refreshes itself every 30 seconds • Tap a train to open its detail TRAIN DETAIL • The journey stop by stop • Scheduled and actual time at every station, with the delay at that point • The train's route on a map, with its current position • Service disruption notices and replacement bus information • The operator running the service FAVORITES • Tap the heart to keep a train • Favorites are split into active (running now) and not active • They stay saved after you close the app • Swipe left to remove one BUILT PROPERLY • Native iPhone app, fully localised in English and Slovak • Light and dark appearance • VoiceOver support and larger text sizes • Text contrast verified against WCAG DATA The app shows publicly available operational delay data from the live feed of Železnice Slovenskej republiky (Slovak Railways). It is not an official ŽSR or ZSSK app, and the data is indicative only — please confirm with the carrier before you travel. The timetable comes from ŽSR open data (data.slovensko.sk, licence CC BY 1.0). The app is free and supported by advertising.
