Ratings and reviews

This app is an absolute MUST for all rail users. This app contains up to date train information for the current two hours, and you can list many stations to track your trains. I currently use 4 a trains a journey, and by listing 20 stations on my app, I can plan the best live time journeys in seconds bouncing from station to station, avoiding delays and cancellations. Well done to the person who brought the app to us. I've been a top user for years!

Been using this app for years. Would be nice though if all the train images could be updated. For example: Hitachi Trains are mostly used nowadays on many Intercity services, especially LNER. My friend was travelling on a Transport for Wales service from Manchester to Cardiff which now uses a locomotive and former MK 4 carriages, but it shows the service formed by a class 158. Maybe a Train Diagram of what train it is and how many coaches long. I think an upgrade of the app is due.

Excellent app. Plenty of features, without bloat; I particularly like that it indicates whether a train often departs late. The visual design does not adhere to Material guidelines, but is clean, fast, and easy to read, so I have no problem with it. I have not noticed any bugs or jankiness while using the app.
