STATION 2588: Bythe Bebside Opens tomorrow!

Also with Rail Statistics V2 you’ll get notifications when new stations open! Also a first you don’t need to add stations manually as with V2, it just appears in the morning!

Now live on Android Betas, to join see post below!

Has anyone built an android app with a working frosted layer?

The first pic from android is the closest I’ve got to it being frosted. Whereas in the second pic what it’s supposed to look like and is working on iOS.

The designer in me can’t in see the bottom is larger than the top half. (Could be the angle the pic is taken) but very much hate these new versions of RA2.

Not to mention the many many examples where the arrows are positioned incorrectly!

(Rant over)

Well it seem like there’s been not many new stations open this year! But 2 more are on the way!

Here’s a guide to the new stations, including first train times & new stations coming soon!

(Totally not hinting a new look for Rail Statistics! 😉)

Been and finally checked out Huddersfield after reopening after theTRUpgrades 30 day blockade!

To show how much Huddersfield has changed since TRU started. Here’s 3 pics, pic 1 (July 2023), pic 2 pre-closure (June 2025) and pic 3 post closure (October 2025)

Ahhh! Only in Bruges you’d see this!

THE NEED 4 SPEED!

Well well looks like I’m back in South wales and the weathers being Welsh!

But god damn I love the Cardiff Valley Lines! Why because it’s what every other city/urban area should be set up!

Well what’s a #greatestgathering day!

Seeing loads of fab trains!
Will say the HS2 (895s) will
Be the best trains ever based on the current mocks, my god there ace not to mention legroom is mint! (I’m 6ft 3 and still had loads of space)
Oh and sit in a cab of a 150 & 507.

I’ll be there too!

Well well……. The East Midlands, it’s been full of surprises. Mainly EMR and XC causing delays and cancellations. I’d go as far to say Northern and TPE are more reliable.

New Ranger and Rover logging and discovery coming soon!

Search for all Ranger/rovers/travelcards plus supports PAYG areas (South wales and London & SE)

Plus quick and easy way to log these tickets and track delay repay.

(This is Work in progress and no where near done yet)

Would anyone be interested in joining a discord server for development updates to Rail Statistics and be the first to join betas when they become available!

Well yesterday was something! It was launch night for my first public exhibit featuring some amazing graphic design that I’ve worked on the past 9 months.

Plus you can now see even more of the GBR branding concept I showed a few weeks ago in IRL.

Pssst
(If you're around in Huddersfield tomorrow evening from 6pm to 9pm, you'll find me there for the launch night!)

Exciting news!

I've got a public exhibit at the 2025 Showcase in Huddersfield from 7th to 20th June. You can find me on the 3rd floor.

Where you can find more of the GBR concept that I shared last week, along with some fun 90s nostalgia.

Unfortunately changing the white on external signage can cause issues at night and reduce the accessible nature for those with reduced vision

With SWR now nationalised and GBR upcoming. It’s time I’d share that I’ve been working on a radical concept of GBR and here it is!

(I’ll be showing more in the coming weeks)
