Description

**New Version - This now works with no requirement to sign up for a National Rail Data account key, you can use the default UK Rail data source provided in settings to retrieve National Rail Data out of the box with no sign up needed**

UK Rail puts National Rail live departure boards on your Pebble. Set your start and destination, then check your watch for the next trains between them with real-time status, platforms, and full calling points.

Built for commuters this app allows you to save the journeys you make often, swap direction for the trip home, find your nearest station by GPS, text or CRS code and view all departures for a journey or from one station. Clean, high-contrast, and quick to read at a glance.

Features

- Live departures between your start and destination (National Rail Darwin / LDBWS)
- Next-train-first, with expected times, on-time / delayed / cancelled status, and platform numbers
- Tap a train for detail — its arrival time at your destination, every calling point, the operator, and any cancellation/delay reason
- Rail replacement buses shown and clearly flagged
- Three ways to pick a station — nearest by GPS, a 3-letter CRS code entry with live station-name lookup, or your recent stations
- Save favourite journeys and reload them in a tap
- Remembers your recent stations and recent journeys
- Swap start and destination instantly
- Works offline for station lookup (bundled database of ~2,600 stations)
- Large-text mode for easier reading

OPTIONAL: If you want to use a personal key then this can be added to the app as follows, but the app will now work without one.

  1. Create an account at raildata.org.uk (Rail Data Marketplace)
  2. Subscribe to the free "Live Departure Board (LDBWS)" product (approval can take ~24h)
  3. Paste your key into the app's Settings
