TfL Go: Live Tube, Bus & Rail

Transport for London (TfL)

About this app

Travel confidently around London with maps and live travel updates on our official TfL app. Check live arrival times for Tube, London Overground, DLR and Elizabeth line trains as well as Trams and IFS Cloud Cable Car. Make step-free journeys and look up station facilities. See on the map when stations and lifts are closed. Walking or cycling? Our reliable journey planner will map a safe route.

The app is built around our iconic Tube map. To get started:
• Touch the map or search to plan your journey
• See the status of all lines
• Re-route as you travel - we’ll suggest alternatives
• Switch to the step-free map for accessible journeys
• Find out when your next train, bus or tram is due
• Look up which platform your train will arrive on
• See when the stations you want to travel through are quieter
• Check out station information and facilities like toilets

Our simple and clear layout is designed to make using the app easy for everyone.

Planning your journey: We’ll suggest multiple ways to get to your destination – you pick the one that suits you best. Choose the quickest journey, bus-only or one that’s step-free.

Check before you travel: See how the line is running and when to expect your next Tube, bus, train or tram

Freedom to explore: Choose the right travel options if you or someone you’re travelling with needs to avoid steps, lifts onto a train or in a station.

Bus stops near you: Find the bus stop nearest to where you are, and next bus live arrival information for every route.

Available underground via Wi-Fi (or 4G in some places) for live updates on the go.

Ratings and reviews

The app itself is pretty good, but having the option to turn off "cycling" as a suggestion would make it better. We have two seniors and one person with a fairly recently broken ankle in our group, so cycling is NEVER an option. Having it come up as the recommended choice time and again is both annoying and impractical. Being able to remove that option would be great in circumstances like ours.

I find TfL Go to be more reliable than Google Maps when it comes to travelling around London. It works very well on-the-go and I find it useful for live bus information. I think it needs improving with respect to live train information. For instance, it appears not to take into consideration trains arriving at a station within a very short time frame.

Unreliable! Inaccurate timings, even though informed by TFL that it would be correct. Buses never arrive & disappear from the predictor. Does not give a variety of routes, just the same one over & over & if a connection is missed you're waiting ages, & you yet no alternative route. Not easy to read, have to click on each to see details of route. No option to save/pin favourite stops For reliability, I give it a zero For readability I give it one For different routes I give it half Not worth it.
