more I use it just about everyday to get to wherever I want! Mostly to work, but also use it to meet up with friends as well! It’s always accurate and can tell you multiple options for how to get where you’re wanting to go, as well as help you plan a trip by entering the time you want to arrive somewhere! Great app!

• Destination Filters: show only services that stop at your chosen destination from stations and bus stops
• Sort saved stops and stations by distance from your current location
• Service Alert Summaries: quick, easy-to-read disruption overviews
• Improved battery efficiency when using live directions and location features
• Smarter Live Activities with automatic trip completion and journey summaries
• Home & Work locations can now be edited or removed
• Saved places and stations now sync automatically across devices with iCloud
• New Shortcuts and Siri support to start live directions instantly as a Live Activity

2026.8 Jun 10
To celebrate World Awareness Day this month, we've added an extra accessibility feature - custom fonts. From the Settings screen, you can now choose from several easy-to-read fonts that will be used throughout the app, including dyslexic-friendly typefaces.
New: Destination Filters
Just open up a station board, tap on Destination and choose the station you want to get to. You'll only see the services that stop there. Great for busy stations where you want to cut out the noise and focus on the lines that you care about.
Best of all, it works for bus stops as well: tap on Destination and choose the place you're going to, and we'll work out which bus lines from that stop go there.
Previously...
Saved Stops by Distance
Now just tap the toggle on the Saved tab to re-order your saved stops and stations by how close they are to you.
Service Alert Summaries
No more scrolling through long lists of alerts. The app now creates a short summary highlighting the most recent and important disruptions affecting your journey.
Better for your battery
We’ve made major optimisations to how the app uses location and background activity while you’re travelling. You can now tap GO with confidence that it won’t drain your battery.
Smarter Live Activities
Live Activities now end cleanly when you reach your destination. You’ll also see a quick summary of your trip when a Live Activity begins.
Home & Work improvements
You can now edit or remove your Home and Work locations again. Saved places and stations also sync automatically through iCloud, keeping all your devices up to date.
Powerful new Shortcuts support
You can now start live directions directly from Shortcuts or Siri. Instead of opening the app, directions begin instantly as a Live Activity - perfect for routines like starting your commute each morning.
The app also remembers your preferred routes. If a familiar journey is available, it will be selected automatically. Otherwise, just choose a route once and we’ll remember it for next time.
Clearer train departure boards
Train times are now easier to read in both the app and widgets, so you can find what you need at a glance.
If you’re enjoying the app, a quick rating or review really helps.
