Platforms - Faster Information

By: Will Nash App
Live departures, arrivals and platform numbers for every UK railway station

Overview

Features & Capabilities

Live departures, arrivals and platform numbers for every station on the National Rail network.

See the platform as soon as it is known — and know how much to trust it. A platform confirmed by the train operator turns green. One that is only expected, or due to be confirmed shortly, says so. If it changes, you will see that too.

ON THE BOARD

• Live departures and arrivals, refreshed automatically
• Platform numbers marked confirmed, expected or changed
• Delays with the revised time and the reason for them
• Cancellations, with the reason and where the train was meant to go
• Operator, headcode and coach count at a glance

TRAINS THAT DIVIDE

Ending up in the wrong half of a dividing train means ending up somewhere you did not intend to go. Both destinations are named on the board, and at the stop where the train splits you are told which portion carries on where — and whether that is the front or rear coaches.

THE WHOLE JOURNEY

Open any service for its full list of calling points, where the train has got to, the reason for any delay, and the train actually working it — class, unit numbers and name.

GETTING TO YOUR TRAIN FASTER

• Filter the board down to trains calling at your destination
• Look ahead to a particular time of day
• Find your nearest station — matched on device, so your location never leaves your phone

Covers every National Rail station in England, Scotland and Wales.

Departure data is supplied by Realtime Trains. It is generally reliable, but please check platform and on-train displays before boarding.
