This app is simple but works amazingly and has everything you would possibly need especially for railway fans but for members of the public is amazing as well and its got no ads and no bugs or issues. I would totally recommend it to anyone also I would happily pay a few quid a month to help you guys run the app. I look forward to the future. Also is there any possibility of adding audio for the announcements. If not o totally understand. Keep up the amazing work

Brilliant commuter tool, killer widget!
P.Rowles
Simply brilliant. The departure board widget takes the stress out of accessing the information need to answer the eternal “is it running?” and “will I make it?” questions. The classic matrix presentation is beautiful and intuitive.The only way this could be better: add the tube network/TFL feed. The “Tube” app does a fairly good job, but you could to it better…. please.
Changed the way I commute

The widget is the most useful thing for a London commuter. As someone close to the Elizabeth line, it saves me tons of time to not have to use city mapper or maps, and just quickly check my home page instead.It lets you select favorite trips, and always keeps up to date with delays.
The best app

Really good train app. Only 4MB download so takes up little space on my phone. Clean and easy to use to get train times in UK. Much easier than Trainline and National Rail Enquiries app.Would like to be able to click to see later trains but otherwise perfect for my needs
