On Rails: Train Times & Widget

See it. Ask it. Plan it.

Built for rail travel across England, Scotland and Wales, On Rails combines live train times, answers to train questions and journey planning in one fast, ad-free app.

LIVE TRAIN INFORMATION

Check departures, arrivals, delays, cancellations and platforms across the National Rail network.

• Save favourite stations and routes

• Switch between favourite stations and routes with a tap

• See clear, colour-coded service updates

• View calling points, operators, journey times and estimated arrivals

• Check coach numbers, loading and toilets where available

• Find replacement bus services where provided

• Find nearby stations and view live London Underground status

JOURNEY PLANNER

Find and compare routes for everyday travel or longer trips.

• Search by station or postcode

• Choose departure or arrival times, including first and last services

• Filter direct trains and specify via or avoid stations

• Compare journey durations, changes and alternatives during disruption

• View train times, platforms and calling points

• Save itineraries to revisit later

• Save search shortcuts for favourite journeys

3 FREE JOURNEY PLANS EACH MONTH

Searching and browsing results are free. Opening journey details for a new planning request uses 1 free plan. All journeys and alternatives within that request are included for the rest of the month.

The allowance is shared between Journey Planner and Take Me and resets on the first day of each month. You can continue searching after using your free plans.

Saved itineraries remain free to view. Rerunning a saved search may use another plan when opening its details, including after changing the date, time or options.

Upgrade to On Rails Pro for unlimited journey planning.

TAKE ME: PLAN FROM YOUR LOCATION

Plan from your current location to Home, Work or a favourite destination. Compare routes from nearby stations to find a journey that suits you. Take Me shares the same monthly allowance.

FIND FASTER SERVICES

With On Rails Pro, sort upcoming live departures by arrival time to see which service reaches your destination first within the next 2 hours. Choose whether to include services with unknown arrival times.

• Check delays at a station
