Support
nexttrain is a simple train departure app for UK rail. If something isn't working as expected, this page should help.
Common Questions
- Why are no departures showing?
- Check your internet connection and try pulling down to refresh. If the issue persists, National Rail systems may be temporarily unavailable.
- How do I add or change routes?
- Tap the route name at the top to switch routes, then use “Add Route” to save another. Swipe left on a saved route to edit or delete it, and drag the handles to reorder the list. The swap button remembers direction separately for each route.
- Why does a train show as delayed with no expected time?
- Sometimes National Rail reports a general delay without a specific estimated time. The app shows “Delayed” until an updated time is provided.
- The widget isn't updating
- Open the app to refresh the data. You can long-press a widget and choose “Edit Widget” to follow the app's current route or pin a particular saved route. iOS limits how often widgets can update in the background.
