If you're using the official National Rail app for train times in the UK, you'll know how cluttered and cumbersome it is.
Now there's a newish train-times kid on the block that's like a breath of fresh air.
It's called Fasteroute and there are apps for Android and iOS devices
The design is simple and elegant and it works super fast giving you arrival and departure boards for all UK stations with platform numbers and departure times, including the very useful how-long-til-my-train-leaves info.
You can refine the results to one particular destination and tapping on a train brings up all stops and expected times. It will also update with delays and cancellations.
It uses information from National Rail but lays it out in a way that makes it a pleasure to use.
The app is free and we can thoroughly recommend it.
One big downer is the lack of a journey planner, but the developers say they're working on it.
