Find stations by name or use your location to find nearby stations. YOUR JOURNEY AT A GLANCE See calling points and stop-by-stop timings. Explore the route on a map and view estimated train progress based on the available timetable and service updates. Train positions are estimates, not GPS locations, and routes between stations are approximate. A MORE VISUAL STATION BOARD Switch to an animated platform view to see which platform a service is expected to use. The scene is an illustration, not a station floor plan or walking guide.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Mind The App at every 2 months against Train Times's every 12 months. Mind The App also leads on device support (5 vs 3). Train Times's advantage is iOS requirement (18.0 vs 27.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
