About RailPilot: Live Train Tracker
If a delay or cancellation breaks a connection, RailPilot re-plans around it and tells you why.
If a faster route opens up mid-journey, it offers the switch.
Crossing London? The Underground is part of the same journey - one timeline from first train to last stop, with the live departure board at each change.
RailPilot keeps following your train with the phone in your pocket. On Android 16 your journey rides in a Live Update on the lock screen and status bar, so the next stop, your platform and your arrival time are a glance away without opening the app.
- Live train times at every stop, with the cause of a delay in plain English
- Live departures with platforms, and how often each train is cancelled
- Connections watched, with backup options and automatic re-routing
- Platform confirmations and platform-change alerts
- The London Underground in the same plan, with live boards
- Plan a journey for today or tomorrow, with an alert if your saved train is cancelled or retimed
- Arrived 15 minutes or more late? RailPilot keeps the train, the booked and the actual times for a Delay Repay claim, and reminds you before the claim window closes
- Share a live link so someone meeting you can follow the train

What’s new
Version 1.0.7 · Updated November 7, 2026
New: a RailPilot home-screen widget. It can show your live journey, a saved or regular journey with its latest times and platforms, or a journeys board from a station to your destination, Underground included. Tap a journey to start tracking it. Tapping a journey notification now opens that journey, not the last page you had open. If you help improve Underground tracking, it no longer shows a notification of its own, but ends as soon as you end your journey.
User reviews
