About Platforms - Faster Information
Live departures, arrivals and platform numbers for every station on the National Rail network. See the platform as soon as it is known — and know how much to trust it. A platform confirmed by the train operator turns green. One that is only expected, or due to be confirmed shortly, says so. If it changes, you will see that too. ON THE BOARD • Live departures and arrivals, refreshed automatically • Platform numbers marked confirmed, expected or changed • Delays with the revised time and the reason for them • Cancellations, with the reason and where the train was meant to go • Operator, headcode and coach count at a glance TRAINS THAT DIVIDE Ending up in the wrong half of a dividing train means ending up somewhere you did not intend to go. Both destinations are named on the board, and at the stop where the train splits you are told which portion carries on where — and whether that is the front or rear coaches. THE WHOLE JOURNEY Open any service for its full list of calling points, where the train has got to, the reason for any delay, and the train actually working it — class, unit numbers and name. GETTING TO YOUR TRAIN FASTER • Filter the board down to trains calling at your destination • Look ahead to a particular time of day • Find your nearest station — matched on device, so your location never leaves your phone Covers every National Rail station in England, Scotland and Wales. Departure data is supplied by Realtime Trains. It is generally reliable, but please check platform and on-train displays before boarding.
What’s new
Version 27.0.2 · Updated October 24, 2026
Plan a journey, then follow your train all the way. • Journey planning: any station to any station, with changes. If a connection looks at risk, you'll see the next way on. • Track a train: alerts when it's delayed or the platform changes, a Live Activity on your Lock Screen, and a reminder before your stop, with an alarm if you want one. • Coaches: how the train is made up, its unit numbers, its facilities, and how busy each coach is. • Morning and evening stations: the app opens on the board you need at that time of day. • Tap a calling point to see that station's board from when your train gets there. • Departed trains are dimmed and marked, and trains running early show it. • A new design, with Departures and Journeys tabs. • On iPad, the board and a train side by side. • Compatibility with iPhone Duo. • Send feedback from inside the app, or report a problem from any board, train or journey. Thank you to everyone who has sent feedback so far.
