It’s been quite some time since the last update to Realtime Trains as development has slowly been progressing. RailMiles was recently relaunched as well. It’s been a rather busy few years and the time has come that I’m now looking for someone new to join the crew here at Swlines Ltd.

swlines Ltd is pleased to announce the successful first test of a new reporting system for Realtime Trains this past Saturday, during HST prototype power car 41001’s first passenger run in over 35 years on “The Screaming Valenta” tour, from Ruddington to Loughborough and back via the Great Central Railway (Nottingham.)

 It has taken longer than than we expected but we are pleased to announce the release of Realtime Trains for iPhone. Realtime Trains for iPhone is available now on the App Store for £2.99. We’ve also reduced the price of our Android app, on Google Play, by 25% to £2.99. The iPhone app brings many of the features of our Android app, and website, to a native app for iOS 7.

 We are excited to announce the release of Realtime Trains for Android, the first in a series of mobile apps. Realtime Trains for Android is available on Google Play for £3.99, starting today! It brings many of the features that we integrated into our website, relaunched last month, into a native app available on your phone. You can: Find your nearest stations by location, or search for any station by name or three letter code See live departures or arrivals for any station, anywhere, any time.

It has been a long time coming, but I’m pleased to finally announce the launch of Realtime Trains, version 2. The site has been overhauled, tweaked, optimised, coiffeured and improved in more ways than you can shake a stick at, both under the hood and in terms of the interface. A lot of work has gone into this release, especially adding platforming information to more stations. Quite a few people were involved in this laborious effort, and they deserve all the gratitude in the world.
