Best app for checking train status?

[sillywoman]

My son tells me that the tel website is not as up to date as he would like. Can anyone recommend an app that is better for checking whether trains are running?

Realtimetraintracker - bit more geeky, but jolly useful.

Me too. Rail, tube, walking all covered under one app.

This is by far my favourite app: it knows the platforms before they're announced and it lets you see the live status of the trains (uses the same data as Real Time Trains, I believe). It also lets you make searches that include multiple destinations, so you can search from "from Peckham to Victoria OR London Bridge".

iPhone only, so useless for the 75-80% of smart phones that run Android.
