This coming timetable change in December marks the biggest change to the Great Western Main Line in decades. LNER are also continuing to introduce their Class 800 and 801 ‘Azuma’ fleet. This is how Realtime Trains prepares for these changes.

Every now and again, we’ll make posts covering what’s changed since last time we covered RTT. There’ve been numerous minor updates since the launch nine days ago and this post covers all of them. We’ll be selling RTT pin badges from tomorrow, more information at the bottom.

Realtime Trains has received its first major upgrade since August 2013 - we’ve recoded major parts of the site and infrastructure and also redecorated while we’ve been at it.

Back in May, we spent our third year providing realtime information at Swanage Railway’s annual Diesel Gala and Beer Festival event. This makes use of the Realtime Preserved Trains technology that has been in development for about 6 years.

In this third post, we look at the migration efforts, the mistakes we made and where we are now heading.
