We're delighted to announce support for allocations in the latest version of our Android app (within Live Times), available now! This builds on top of recently opened up Gemini data.

We'd like to thank @realtimetrains.co.uk for paving the way for transparency when it comes to unit allocations.

Trainline completely dead? Now might be the perfect time to try something new... trainsplit.app

Then you have to consider how many of those "reservations" are actually for "Coach * Seat ***" meaning you don't actually have a reserved seat...

Hey, let's be fair... seven of those are just your seat reservations, and one is a receipt!

Bah, there's many more ticketing APIs. Silverrail, Assertis, Pico, etc.

Both of which are Trainline with different colours 🫢

Powered by the best rail ticketing API too 😛

I'd say TrainSplit, but I'm biased given I develop the Android app... :P

RTT's solution is also great (powered by us TrainSplit/Raileasy too), but there's no accompanying app.

Huge waste of electricity, low capacity, and outdated.

2G is only here to stay for now because of IoT devices like smart electricity meters.

Yes, but they have their own 4G voice system and don't share O2's, so aren't vulnerable to this.

We didn't get the chance to test Sky — didn't know anyone on there.

No, specific to O2 customers only, and those of some O2 MVNOs like giffgaff.

Didn't think to cross post this, but it's been done for me now!

@bahn.de Hi, I have some seat reservations on a service that was cancelled yesterday.

The online compensation page keeps telling me to wait until after departure, despite that being 24h ago. Can I get a refund for the reservations another way?

As long as I develop the Android app, we won't make use of Play Integrity for device integrity attestation.

If we need to implement this for some reason in the future, then it would be via the hardware attestation API rather than Play Integrity.

Close enough, I think? Roundabout of A2690 and The Ridge W

@showmeasign.online Quite the font on this thirty sign...

We use it to try and ensure people making searches are legitimate users. We've had issues with automated usage before.

We don't block rooted devices or custom ROMs from using the app though. All my phones are rooted so that would present a bit of an issue. 😂

A screenshot of the TrainSplit Android Auto interface displaying nearby train stations. On the left, a list shows station names, distances, and codes: 1. Three Bridges - 0.3 mi (TBD) 2. Crawley - 1.0 mi (CRW) 3. Ifield - 2.2 mi (IFI) 4. Gatwick Airport - 3.0 mi (GTW). On the right, a map highlights the station locations with numbered pins. Landmarks include London Gatwick Airport at the top. At the bottom, a music player is active, playing "Midnight Train to Georgia" by Gladys Knight & The Pips. The interface includes standard Android Auto buttons for navigation and assistant options.

🚘 Do you drive to the station? With the TrainSplit app and the power of Android Auto, we can now help you navigate to the station and check on the live status (including platform numbers and delays) of departing & arriving trains - all from the comfort of the driver's seat!

⚠️ Use in-car apps safely

RDM has proved useful after all!

Personally, I love that Three decided to cover the British half of the channel tunnel with mobile coverage. When they learned they had to put some equipment in France to cover the other half, they just never bothered.

So where's the line between railway staff and non-railway staff drawn? 😆

Double-TOC, double-IET(ish) action at London Euston tonight...

Classes 800 and 805 making friends!

Off to Swindon and back for a round trip on this rare opportunity on GWR tonight.

Nothing compared to the NRM in York, though! 😝
