National Rail - iphone 4

National Rail

£4.99/$7.99 Routes and live departures


When using Britain's rail system, you need to be able to plan journeys efficiently and anticipate delays as far in advance as possible. Information from the National Rail Enquiries site is now available with the official iPhone app.

When you first launch it, the app will prompt you to set your home station based on your current location. You also have the option to add other stations, as well as favourite journeys,

Planning a journey is simple and the live departures board is useful, showing a summary of the departing trains and any delays, but also enabling you to tap on any service and see its progress. Frustratingly, there's no access to this information when you plan a journey, or indeed any way to access it when you're already on a train and want to check progress or upcoming stations. Our favourite feature is Next Train Home, which looks up your nearest station and checks the time of the next train you can catch to your home station.
