Frequently Asked Questions

Where do you get the train times from?
The train times are retrieved from traintimes.org.uk who retrieve the data directly from national rail.

So why wouldn't I just use one of those sites?
Our site simply provides a nicer interface for iPhone and iPod Touch users.

Why can't I search for trains going via places, and return journeys?
We wanted to keep it simple for the simple interface on the phone, if you want a more complex you should stick with one of the sites above.

The station location feature didn't work!
Check it happens more than once, and if it does e-mail us at iphone@themacbox.co.uk and tell us which station failed for you.

I found a bug, who should I contact?
You can e-mail us at iphone@themacbox.co.uk with any bug reports, constructive comments, praise, etc.

Can I use the site on a normal computer?
Yes feel free, but it will most likely only render correctly in the Safari web browser.
