DepartureBoards

Delayed? Cancelled? Which platform? The board now tells you all three at a glance, on your Lock Screen as well as in the app.

You're walking to the station. There's one thing you need to know: is my train still running, and what platform is it on?

DepartureBoard answers that before your screen locks again.

Pick where you're starting and where you're going. That's it. No account, no setup, no journey planner asking you to enter a date and time you already know. You get a live board for your route: the next trains, their real times, their platforms, and whether anything has gone wrong.

BUILT FOR THE WALK TO THE PLATFORM

Live status on every service. On time, running late, or cancelled, marked with both a colour and an icon so it reads at a glance and in bright sunlight.

Real times, not booked ones. When a train is delayed the revised time takes the lead and the scheduled time sits struck through behind it. No mental arithmetic on the concourse.

Countdowns that tick. "in 4 min" counts itself down while you watch, so you always know whether you can still make it.

Sorted by when trains actually leave. A delayed service drops below the one now leaving ahead of it, exactly as it would on the board above the barriers.

Platform numbers, large and unmissable.

WIDGETS THAT DO THE CHECKING FOR YOU

Small widget: your next train, its time and its platform. Medium widget: the next three, so you can see your fallback. Lock Screen widget: the glance you make without unlocking.

Tap any of them to open that journey in full.

SAVE THE ROUTES YOU ACTUALLY TRAVEL

Save a journey once and it is one tap away, on your Home Screen, on your Lock Screen, or in the app. Rename them to whatever you call them: Work. Home. Mum's.

SEARCH THAT KEEPS UP

Stations you have used recently are waiting before you type a character. Results arrive as you type. Every station shows its three-letter code, so you never pick the wrong Waterloo, Victoria or Parkway.

QUIET BY DESIGN

No account. No ads. No analytics or tracking SDKs. No notifications you did not ask for. Open it, look, put your phone away.

Every departure reads properly in VoiceOver, including delays, cancellations and missing platform numbers. When you are offline you are told plainly, with a retry button that actually retries.
