If there is one thing all commuters need on their smartphones, it is a train departure app. Whether you are a regular London commuter, or just somebody who likes having a day out, a train app that offers real-time updates is a must as it will save you a lot of hanging around if a train is delayed or, even worse, cancelled.
Rail Planner Live is recommended by National Rail Enquiries and offers a mountain of information about the comings and goings of trains on its lines.
Load the app up and you can filter by station the information you want. Or, if you find yourself stranded somewhere, the app will use your smartphone’s GPS to find out where you are and give you information about the stations that are near to you.
Not only that, you also get to see how much fares will cost within the app and you can set up SMS alerts to get an instant update on any disruption to your chosen journey.
Yes it costs a little bit of money to purchase, but Rail Planner Live takes the sting out of journeying in the UK. The only thing stopping this app from being a five-star buy is the lack of widget.
