Following the rollout of the RTT unified login to RailMiles late last year, we’ve been tinkering around with various parts of the service and have a number of changes.
Settings changes
We’ve now split out the settings pages, and made them easier to access, in preparation for some forthcoming larger changes we have scheduled for later this quarter.
You can find the new settings pages on the RailMiles dashboard. There are:
- Service Settings, for settings within RailMiles such as your display name, default journey purpose, and visibility
- Public Site Settings, for settings on your public site, such as subdomain, site visibility and display preferences
New domains!
We’re working on adding some more domain options other than railmiles.me. We’ve just added logging.tube in response to frequent requests from our users and you can move your public site to that domain now.
As we’re now allowing changes to other domains, we’ve added new expiry rules for old domains. You cannot change your public site address within 20 minutes of the last change, and your last address will be held for 2 months in case you wish to change back. After that time, it will be expired.
We’ll be offering an option to have multiple public site addresses in due course for a small add-on fee. The first address will always remain included in a RailMiles subscription.
On the new domain options, it may take a little longer to first view a page due to web security standards and is expected. In some cases, you may need to login to your account again by clicking or tapping Login in the top right or under the menu.
New options in journey logging
As part of some future work, we’ve added new fields to the New/Edit Journey page within RailMiles. Service UID and date are now part of the Operator and Running Info box. If a journey is selected as part of the normal service search, they’ll be populated from Realtime Trains automatically.
