## Railboard Description
Powered by National Rail Enquiries, Railboard is the best app for National Rail train times and platform numbers. Plus, you can save lots of money by finding super-cheap split train tickets on the app.

With Split Tickets, our clever algorithms find combinations of tickets that together offer the same journey but at a lower price than a regular ticket. 

This is done by splitting regular train tickets at calling points along the journey. So instead of one ticket from A to C, you have two tickets from A to B and B to C. However, you stay on the same train as normal. There is no requirement to alight and re-board. And we do all the hard work to find them for you!

But that’s not all; Railboard has tons of other features:

● No booking fees.
● Instant etickets, which you can add to Apple Wallet.
● Buy with Apple Pay.
● Supports Dark Mode.
● Set your railcard to get railcard discounts.
● Easily request refunds using an online form inside the app.
● Receipts available inside the app.
● An easy button to add journeys to your calendar.
● You can optionally toggle off seeing ticket prices.
● You can choose to see only direct trains.
● National Rail departure and arrival boards.
● Official National Rail platform numbers.
● Clear disruption, delay, and cancellation notices.
● Pin trains and journeys for easy access later on.
● You can save route searches for quick access.
● Optional settings, so you can customise Railboard to how you like it.

Railboard is rated Excellent on Trustpilot!

## Railboard Reviews in United Kingdom

### ***** "The best UK rail app"
Having used different company apps and the national rail app this one is by far the best for usability and accurate info. 5 stars
-- O-dawwwg, 2024-12-30

### ***-- "Unreliable"
Useful for planning and tracking but will not use for transaction due to a false journey which I was charged for.
-- Angrrrrrrr., 2024-12-16

### ***** "Refreshingly simple"
After many frustrations with GWR and Trainline, and after the horrendous redesign (and slowness) of the National Rail app, I’m so glad I found Railboard. It opens on the planner, is fast, integrates properly with Apple Wallet where the tickets gracefully expire when they should. This keeps Wallet clutter free (unlike GWR’s app). I read a bit about Railboard and discovered that the founder created it as a commuter himself - and you can tell. Give this app a try.
-- ilowkernow, 2024-12-16

### ***** "Amazing"
Amazing app, surprised most people I speak to haven’t heard of it. Wipes the floor with all the official apps, chock full of very useful features. Incredibly easy to use, incredibly reliable. Love it. Also it’s free?!
-- Adam Gibbins, 2024-12-14

### ***** "Exceptional Rail App"
I found this app after National Rail destroyed theirs and I can’t believe I’ve gone this long without using it. The level of customisation of routes etc is unparalleled. Can’t really fault it expect for saying it takes a little bit of time to fully grasp how everything works but that’s because you have so many options. Once you get your head around it, it’s a breeze. Love it, keep up the fantastic work!
-- Klausbatb, 2024-12-14

### ***** "Excellent app"
Update 08/12/2024: having used this for a few days now, I’m really impressed. My issue regarding the platform numbers sorted itself the day or so after when they started appearing. I have received a response from the developers which stated the platform numbers are always shown if provided by the rail company. The app is now my go to for rail travel and I far prefer it to the Network Rail app.

Only just using this after being recommended by train crew. This is very clear and quick and works well. The only thing that will stop me using this as my go to app is the lack of platform numbers which is really useful for me when trains are running late to allow me to run to the correct platform.
-- Foofighterfan66, 2024-12-08

### ***** "Excellent app for train times"
This is an excellent app to track train times. The user interface is clear and intuitive. I like that I can save my favourite journeys for easy access.
-- Yass247, 2024-12-05

### ***** "Intuitive, reliable, excellent. SO much better than the National Rail app."
The recent disastrous update to the National Rail app left me searching for alternatives. Railboard is everything that app should have been, and more. Easy to use, works flawlessly, looks great. THANK YOU from a long suffering commuter.
-- wimblostoph, 2024-12-04

### ****- "Clear and simple"
Clean and simple interface. Easily and quickly see trains on my preferred routes. Much better than the national rail app
-- Kricho6, 2024-12-03

### ***** "Train info heaven"
I feel so stupid persisting with the National Rail app for two months after they ruined it in mid September…the final straw was an update that meant (in my experience)  clicking on the ‘journey details’ button got you fare details and no way to find where and when I was to change trains.
I downloaded Railboard while on a train a few days ago and I’m relieved that it’s intuitive, has an attractive interface and has features that the original NR app used to have until they changed it…features so obviously needed by people that use trains everyday or even occasionally…..favourite stations (instead of relying solely on an ever changing recent search option), the ability to see earlier trains on the live departures board which is useful when finding out what’s happening to the train you are on and gives useful insight during service disruption…as does showing cancelled trains on the live departures board. Finding train information has been made easy and hassle free thanks to Railboard
-- A bloke in Wiltshire, 2024-11-23
