Following on our updates to RailMiles earlier this month, we’re adding dark modes to Realtime Trains and Realtime Tickets today.
Dark mode will be automatically selected by your system preference but if you wish to personalise it to your preference, there’s a new light/dark mode icon at the bottom of every page.
Realtime Trains
We’ve gone through the RTT website with a fine-tooth comb, reviewing every area and making sure the site looks great in the new dark mode colours.
Since our last update in January, we’ve also added a few other minor updates including adding the new EMR 810 and Chiltern Explorer (Mk5) fleets.
We’ve also moved our newsletter to a new in-house service - you can subscribe at the bottom of every page. We send out news, offers and updates through our newsletter so please subscribe if you are interested!
We’re been aware of issues for some users about staying logged into RTT+, so we’ve made a few amendments to our login service which should keep you logged in for longer.
We’ll be adding dark mode to the login, account and subscriptions pages in a couple of weeks together with another set of updates.
Realtime Tickets
Realtime Tickets has also received a new dark mode update.
It’s approaching a year since we launched Realtime Tickets last April, and is our next focus of attention for updates.
We’re working on a set of updates to our Daytripper product and also new ways of thanking you for using Realtime Tickets. We know there’s a lot of rail ticketing websites out there, and that you have a choice of which one you use, and we’re very grateful for it - so keep your eyes peeled in the coming weeks.
Updates to RailMiles
We’ve made a couple of behind the scenes updates to RailMiles. As with RTT, we’re aware there have been a few issues with accounts being logged out after short periods of time so we’ve replaced the library we used for authentication with something in-house which will hopefully improve things. You may need to log back in once during this migration process.
Finally, apps…
Behind the scenes, we’ve been working towards some new mobile apps planned for launch in mid-2020 for both iOS and Android. We’re almost ready to start testing them with a wider audience. If you’re interested, please sign up to our newsletter or join our Discord server to stay up to date as we’ll be sending out information on how to apply to test these apps through those channels.
