Commutative tells you which platform your train will depart from, before other apps and hours before it appears on the station boards. This means you can be the first to board the train and have your choice of seats.
Start a Live Activity to get real-time updates to your train's journey. We'll let you know if it's delayed, if the platform changes, or if it's cancelled.
• See your train's platform hours before it departs (before other apps and before the boards in the station)
• Ask to be notified if your train is late, changes platform, or cancelled
• Add a Widget to your Home Screen to see your commute at a glance
• Add a widget to StandBy Mode to see your journey while your iPhone's on a MagSafe charger
• See exactly where your train is - including the points in-between stations that other train apps don't show.
Because Commutative pulls data directly from Network Rail's systems, while other train apps just search National Rail Enquiries. This means Commutative knows your platform earlier than any other app.
No platform yet? Don't want to look up at the boards? Just tap 'Track This Train' and go do something else. We'll add the train to your Dynamic Island so you can do something more productive while we keep an eye on the train for you. At the latest, this will be a few seconds BEFORE it appears on the departure boards in the station, but we usually know up to 5 hours before! Now you'll always beat the rush and get a seat.
Is your train delayed? You can see exactly where your train is en-route, see where it's been, and when it's due. This includes the points in-between passenger stations that aren't reported in other train apps.
Do you commute? Add your commute as a Widget and always see the next 5 trains at a glance. The Widget can be set to reverse at midday too, to show your journey back home.

Would be great if it worked
In theory, this is a fab idea. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work! I searched for a route from London Waterloo to Epsom (it was on the station boards), but this app could not find this route. Update: updated to 4 stars, based on the developer's prompt response; it indicates excellent customer service and builds trust and confidence that bugs are being addressed. If it’s fixed, this would be a five-star app! If there is a wish list, I know this isn’t a route planner and works for direct trains only but one final addition that might help us non-frequent commuters (if possible) is to have an ‘ALL London stations’ option. For example, Epsom is the destination which has direct routes from a couple of London stations (Waterloo and Victoria). It would be great if the app could show these various options which would inform us in selecting the most appropriate route based on station proximity, next train, fastest route etc. Thankyou!
Update
Now five stars. My go-to app for UK train times. Developer has addressed all points from my previous review. Allows you to be one step ahead of crowds waiting by information boards, helping secure a seat before the platform gets busy.
Station list wanting !
Major station Brighton (BTN) not available to pick. How many more missing from master list??
At least I can now see trains and the ability to see passing points is useful.
At least one other app does show predicted platforms which change colour when confirmed. Predicted platforms have been available in NR data for years.
Be interesting to see how things progress if app regularly updated.
How about the option to see all departures from a station without having to pick a destination? That would make App really useful.
Details for ’Nerds’ useful, but why class everybody who is interested in this as Nerds. Just drop the Nerd part! It’s stupid and could be insulting to some users.
