Plan a UK Rail Journey
Plan a train journey between any two UK stations, including connections, journey time, and line status.
Check Live Train Departures
Get real-time departure information for any UK station, including platform numbers, delays, and expected arrival times.
Tool
Checking train departures usually means opening a rail app, navigating through a cluttered interface, and hoping the live data is actually current. For regular commuters or anyone catching a specific train, you want the information in seconds without switching apps or browsers.
Train Tracker's `station_search` and `live_departures` skills return live departure boards for any UK station — train operators, scheduled and expected departure times, platform numbers, and delay status — in a clean, readable format. You can ask by station name without needing station codes or exact formatting.
Commuters, business travellers, and anyone meeting someone off a train use this to check departure boards in conversation, get the next available train to a specific destination, and monitor whether a specific service is running on time.
