Retro terminal-style train times for Irish Rail
A minimalist iOS app displaying real-time Irish Rail train information with a classic 1980s computer terminal aesthetic. Green phosphor glow optional.
RetroRail connects to the Irish Rail API to provide live train departure and arrival information for all stations across the Irish Rail network. Think of it as teletext for trains, rendered with the charm of a VT100 terminal.

New:
1. Added retro style widget to show train times from your selected station, from favourites.
2. Added current time display to train detail view header for convenience.
Fixes:
1. Temporal sorting issue resolved where midnight services (00:00-03:59) incorrectly appeared before late-night departures (22:00-23:59). The scheduler now correctly treats early-morning times as "next day" when mixed with late-night services.
2. Station name formatting improved with proper capitalisation.3. Added more robust network handling and auto-reconnect should the network drop or be unavailable for a period of time
