Description
Powered by National Rail Enquiries, Railboard is the best app for National Rail train times and platform numbers. Plus, you can save lots of money by finding super-cheap split train tickets on the app.
With Split Tickets, our clever algorithms find combinations of tickets that together offer the same journey but at a lower price than a regular ticket.
This is done by splitting regular train tickets at calling points along the journey. So instead of one ticket from A to C, you have two tickets from A to B and B to C. However, you stay on the same train as normal. There is no requirement to alight and re-board. And we do all the hard work to find them for you!
But that’s not all; Railboard has tons of other features:
● No booking fees.
● Instant etickets, which you can add to Apple Wallet.
● Buy with Apple Pay.
● Supports Dark Mode.
● Set your railcard to get railcard discounts.
● Easily request refunds using an online form inside the app.
● Receipts available inside the app.
● An easy button to add journeys to your calendar.
● You can optionally toggle off seeing ticket prices.
● You can choose to see only direct trains.
● National Rail departure and arrival boards.
● Official National Rail platform numbers.
● Clear disruption, delay, and cancellation notices.
● Pin trains and journeys for easy access later on.
● You can save route searches for quick access.
● Optional settings, so you can customise Railboard to how you like it.

Ratings and Reviews
Easy to use, accessible app
Railboard is a tremendous app for viewing upcoming arrivals and departures to and from any UK National Rail train station, planning journeys across the National Rail network, and purchasing tickets for planned journeys.
One of my favourite features is the possibility to save desired routes for one-tap access at a later point. For example, I am able to quickly access all upcoming departures from Leicester, or upcoming trains departing London Paddington which call at Bristol Temple Meads.
The app works fantastically with VoiceOver, and it’s clear that a huge amount of work has gone into making sure that Railboard is as accessible to as many people as possible.
The help documentation is consise, clearly detailing the purpose of the various screens within the app. This is useful, as the purposes of some of the screens could potentially be confusing for new users.
Lastly, the developer is extremely receptive to feedback and suggestions, be they related to accessibility, or general app functionality.
Having used Railboard to book several tickets as of now, I felt sufficiently comfortable to close my TrainLine account.
Overall, a highly recommended app.
Just brilliant
Been looking for a good rail app for a long time . The official Rail Enquiries one is a mess and not been updated in forever , used Train times for a long time and the one by Agent which sadly stopped working. So hard to find a simple train time app for a busy commuter. Moovit is very comprehensive but too much detail and too complex to be using for daily commuting over several rail lines. I would pay for this can’t understand why it’s free and I can’t see any ads to pay to remove. Great work guys, keep it simple and quick to use for people on the go. Add an option in the settings to contribute somehow you deserve something for your work. ( unless I have missed it!?)
Developer Response ,
Thank for you trying out Railboard and for the great review! 🙌
The app is free because the long term plan is to sell train tickets, from which we'd be able to make money from commission.
But don't worry! A simple and easy user interface for commuters will always be our top priority 👍 Seeing ticket prices would be an optional feature only.
Really excellent app with loads of useful features
I downloaded Railboard after Train Times stopped working and it's a joy to use. It's very quick and the interface is well designed with useful visual prompts like colours to indicate if trains are on time. Navigation is very easy and you can quickly choose live or planner views, along with an option to go straight into saved routes in planner or live views. Live view shows you the whole route and planner shows you the stops between your station and the destination. It's also very easy to save stations, look at recent stations, stations nearby, or search. Great app, highly recommended!
