Kettle – Live Train Times
Departures, delays, platforms
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Most train apps make you search for a journey every time. Kettle already knows yours: it's built around the journey you make every day.
• Open it and see how your trains are running. No searching for stations.
• See how your trains ran, without another search.
• On the train, see how it's running, where it is and when you'll get in.
• Get to know your regular train: how well it really runs, so you know what to expect.
YOUR TRAINS, LIVE
• Your next trains as cards: live times, platforms as soon as they're announced, and what's late or cancelled.
• When to leave, worked out from your walk to the station.
• The whole day at a glance: which trains are fast, which have gone.
• Commutes with a change: the best connection, and a warning if a late train means missing it.
ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN AND WRIST
• Live Activities (Premium) follow your train on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island and in CarPlay.
• Widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen, also in CarPlay. The small Next train widget and the Lock Screen widget are free; the other sizes and widgets are Premium.
• An Apple Watch app and complications (Premium).
• Ask Siri "When's my next train?"
WHEN THINGS GO WRONG
• Alerts (Premium) when your train is late, cancelled or back on time, when your line is in trouble, and a summary each morning. You choose which, and on which days.
• A way round (Premium): a route that avoids the trouble on your line, ready for the bad days.
• Status for your line, plus the Tube, Metrolink, Supertram and Merseyrail where your journey uses them.
• Delay Repay made easy (Premium): trains you could claim for in the last 28 days, with a link to your train company's own claim page.
KNOW YOUR LINE
• History and reliability: how your trains really run, by weekday and by hour.
• A live map of the network, coloured by how trains are running right now.
• Quick check: the trains between any two stations, as a one-off list, without changing your route.
• Departures and station facilities for every station in Great Britain.
KETTLE PREMIUM
Everything you need on a normal day is free. Premium adds the things that help on the bad days: notifications for your trains and your line, Delay Repay, ways round, the route outlook (weather, Met Office warnings and football on your line), telling people when you're late, and every Premium tool. Kettle Premium is £1.99 a month or £14.99 a year, with a free week for new subscribers. Payment is taken from your Apple Account when you confirm. Your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; you can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.

Ratings & Reviews
Bug fixes and small improvements: a train that stops short of your station now counts as your next train, Ways round says when a delayed train has no estimate yet, and trains that join another on the way now run through to your station on the Lock Screen.
