Description

Commutative tells you which platform your train will depart from, before other apps and hours before it appears on the station boards. This means you can be the first to board the train and have your choice of seats.

Start a Live Activity to get real-time updates to your train's journey. We'll let you know if it's delayed, if the platform changes, or if it's cancelled.

• See your train's platform hours before it departs (before other apps and before the boards in the station)
• Ask to be notified if your train is late, changes platform, or cancelled
• Add a Widget to your Home Screen to see your commute at a glance
• Add a widget to StandBy Mode to see your journey while your iPhone's on a MagSafe charger
• See exactly where your train is - including the points in-between stations that other train apps don't show.

Because Commutative pulls data directly from Network Rail's systems, while other train apps just search National Rail Enquiries. This means Commutative knows your platform earlier than any other app.

No platform yet? Don't want to look up at the boards? Just tap 'Track This Train' and go do something else. We'll add the train to your Dynamic Island so you can do something more productive while we keep an eye on the train for you. At the latest, this will be a few seconds BEFORE it appears on the departure boards in the station, but we usually know up to 5 hours before! Now you'll always beat the rush and get a seat.

Is your train delayed? You can see exactly where your train is en-route, see where it's been, and when it's due. This includes the points in-between passenger stations that aren't reported in other train apps.

Do you commute? Add your commute as a Widget and always see the next 5 trains at a glance. The Widget can be set to reverse at midday too, to show your journey back home.

Got an iPhone with the Dynamic Island? See your train’s predicted time and platform update live in the Dynamic Island while you multitask in other apps!

What’s New

Version 8.1.1

• Travelling on a busy route where trains overtake each other? Now you can choose to sort by arrival time rather than departure. It even takes delays into account! Now you'll always know which train will get you there first.

• Fixed a bug where times were less than ideal on some screens.

Station list wanting !

Major station Brighton (BTN) not available to pick. How many more missing from master list??

At least I can now see trains and the ability to see passing points is useful.

At least one other app does show predicted platforms which change colour when confirmed. Predicted platforms have been available in NR data for years.

Be interesting to see how things progress if app regularly updated.

How about the option to see all departures from a station without having to pick a destination? That would make App really useful.

Details for ’Nerds’ useful, but why class everybody who is interested in this as Nerds. Just drop the Nerd part! It’s stupid and could be insulting to some users.

Developer Response ,

Hi Peter, really sorry about this - Network Rail changed the format they send us the data in, and it looks like you downloaded the app RIGHT before we temporarily removed it from sale.

I hope you got your refund, if not you can do that through reportaproblem.apple.com

Regardless of your refund, if you still have the app installed please consider the new update - we’ve rewritten it (entirely, from scratch) and it should now support any direct train from every station. It has some other cool things like Live Activities and maps too, but the main thing is that it’s really stable now.

Sorry again that it was broken when you downloaded it!
