Introduction

UK Train Times App for iPhones provides real time journey planning across the National Rail network and live departure information for all National Rail stations.

Main Content

UK Train Times provides real-time journey planning for journeys across the National Rail network and live departure information for all National Rail stations.

This is a fully-licensed application powered by National Rail Inquiries' real-time data feeds. The app was previously known as "National Rail Inquiries for iPhone".

Features Include:

Powerful real-time journey planner for single or return journeys across the National Rail network, with departure platform information (where available).

'Next Train Home' feature automatically finds your nearest station and plans your journey home.

If you're searching for trains today, you'll be told about any delays or cancellations to your chosen trains and given the option to find alternative journeys.

Live departures and arrivals at all National Rail stations, with platform information (where available*) and live train progress.

Add multiple stations to the app's Home Screen for one-touch access to their live departures. Simply choose a station in 'Live Departures & Arrivals' and hit 'Save' to create a new favorite.

Automatically find your nearest stations or select one of your recently used stations, and then find directions via the iPhone's Maps application.

Note: The Live Departure and Journey Planner features require an active mobile network connection when starting a new search, but Journey Planner search results are automatically saved for use when outside of mobile network coverage.
