Anyway, nice train. An evolution, not a revolution. Comfortable seats and smells less like it's been through 20+ years of hauling Plymouth to Aberdeen.

Just put out my first indie iPhone app - for UK train commuters.
An app you can just open it and see the next fastest train home or to work, along with the platform number. Supports iPhone widgets and Apple Watch complications.
No clutter, no ticket upsells, or advertising. And it's fast!
I might be the only customer, but putting it out there in case it fills a gap for other people too.

If you're stuck with the Manchester Piccadilly #UKTrains madness this week, I definitely recommend Citymapper! Trainline and the official train apps all had way worse routes, and didn't even show the better Citymapper alternatives as an option. Better even when it makes you do routes like this 🥲

UK folks, is there a good app JUST for tracking a particular train journey that might include multiple changes?

I currently use the Trainline app for this. I like it for the journey tracker because it's great for showing when a train is running late, how long I'll have to change trains, if I'm going to miss a change, stuff like that.

However, I would like to ditch Trainline, because it's asking for my age to work out how much to charge me for tickets and I literally never use it to buy tickets!

Edit: Sorry for the misunderstanding - it's not just that I don't want to enter my age, but that's kind of a last-straw illustration that the app is not as suited to my needs as I'd like. So, just lying about my age HAS already occurred to me, and also I would like an app that focuses on journey tracking and not buying tickets.

I am on a #UKTrains and none of us know where it's going 😂😂😂 This should be fun. I have just determined that it is not, in fact, going miles out of the way to Bolton as I feared

Q: I have an off-peak return ticket with a long connection time. Can I leave the station (in search of a good coffee) and re-enter the ticket barriers?

I can't wait for them to improve the train line to Leefs (sic) from #Sheffield, 'cos getting to and from Leeds has been a right pain in the arse. "Leefs leafs the way" #uktrains

Nice new Class 701 trains on #southwesternrailway now on the Reading - Waterloo services.
Shame about the deafening squeaking noises from in/under the carriages when moving. Changed to a different carriage but it's only a little better. Still, just an hour with what sounds worse than chalk on a blackboard for accompaniment.
