Fastest Train: UK Live Trains

New: Long-press any train to track it live. See its platform, stops, and real-time status pinned right at the top - no searching needed.

Stop wasting time in bloated apps just to find your platform. Fastest Train is the fast, no-nonsense tool for live UK rail information - built for people who just need to catch their train.

TRACK ANY TRAIN New: Long-press any departure to pin it. A live tracking card appears at the top of the screen showing your train's platform, calling stops, real-time status, and a countdown to departure. It stays pinned even when you switch stations - and persists if you leave the app and come back.

PLATFORM INFO, EARLY See platform numbers as soon as they are announced — often before they appear on the station big screens. No more aimlessly wandering the concourse.

DISRUPTION AT A GLANCE A live disruption banner shows you instantly if your station has delays or cancellations, with plain-English reasons (signal failure, staff issues, knock-on delays). Green means go. Amber or red means check before you walk out the door.

FULL JOURNEY DETAILS Tap any departure to expand the full calling point list with live timing at every stop, platform numbers along the route, and coach formation data where available. Scroll forward for hours of future trains, or pull up past departures to see what already left.

LIVE DATA FOR EVERY UK STATION Powered directly by the National Rail Darwin feed — the same source that drives the big screens. Covers all 2,500+ stations across the UK network including Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Works equally well on iPhone and iPad, with a dedicated side-panel layout on larger screens.

CREATE YOUR OWN DEPARTURE BOARD Now offering a full screen mode for use in your office or home. Great to see service conditions from your selected station.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No accounts. No sign-in. No location tracking. No unnecessary permissions. Your journey data stays on your device.

PERFECT FOR: • The London commuter sprinting for the 18:02 from Waterloo • Anyone checking for delays before leaving the house • Travellers who need full journey details fast • iPad users who want a proper split-screen rail board • Anyone tired of slow, ad-heavy "official" apps
