TransitRadar — UK trains and buses

Next buses from a bus stop anywhere in Great Britain. Give the stop name AND its town or area — many stops share a name across the country, so 'Trafalgar Square' alone can land in Greater Manchester while 'Trafalgar Square London' finds Charing Cross. A stop letter can follow, e.g. 'Trafalgar Square London stop X'. A stop's ATCO/NaPTAN code also works. Live predictions in London (TfL); elsewhere the timetable, so a 'scheduled' time is not a live estimate. Other matching stops are returned so the right one can be chosen.

TransitRadar's own record of one completed day on GB passenger rail: how many trains ran, how many were cancelled, the share of RECORDED arrivals within five minutes at their destination, the same share counting each cancellation as a failure, per-operator figures, and the commonest delay and cancellation reasons. Measured at the destination, so it is stricter than, and not comparable with, the industry's published PPM. Available from 2026-08-06 up to yesterday; where fewer than half of arrivals were recorded, no punctuality figure is given.

Current GB rail incidents and planned engineering work from National Rail's KnowledgeBase: what is affected, the operators, the dates and a link to National Rail's notice. Optionally filter by operator (name or two-letter code) or by any text, such as a station, line or reason.

Search the GB rail timetable for specific trains. The query combines terms: an operator and a headcode ('LNER 1S09', 'EMR 1H26'), a time and a station ('12:19 from Corby' — matched within about ten minutes either side), two stations ('Corby to St Pancras', which also finds trains calling at both), or a planning ID / UID ('C12345', or its first few characters). A headcode alone is NOT unique: the same four characters run in several parts of the country at once, so always check origin and destination. Returns planning IDs to pass to get_train.

Look up a GB passenger train unit or carriage by the six-digit number painted on it (e.g. '360107'): which service it is working now, the other services it is booked to work today, and the last calling point it was reported at. This comes from the operator's rolling-stock ALLOCATION, which is a plan and may be wrong during disruption. The position is the last calling point reported, not a live GPS fix — the train is somewhere beyond it.

Full details of one train by its planning ID (UID, e.g. 'C04207'): every public calling point with booked, expected and actual times, platforms and per-stop cancellations, plus — for today's trains — where it was last reported and how late. A cancellation can apply to only some stops. 'lastReport' is the last place signalling or movement data placed the train, not a GPS position. Reasons are National Rail's own words.

Find GB railway stations by name or code. Returns each station's three-letter CRS code (e.g. KGX), its TIPLOC and whether it has step-free access. Use this to turn a place name into the code the other tools take.

Live departure or arrival board for a GB railway station, from National Rail's Darwin feed: booked time, expected time, actual time once reported, platform, operator and any delay or cancellation reason. An expected time equal to the booked one means no revision has been published, which usually means running to plan. A missing expected time is NOT a statement that the train is on time. Reasons are National Rail's own words and should be quoted, not paraphrased.

Details of a GB railway station: address, managing operator, facilities, step-free access, industry codes (CRS, TIPLOC, STANOX, NLC) and, where Network Rail publishes it, the live status of each public lift. Lift status is 'In service', 'Out of service' or 'Data not available'; the last means the status is not known and the traveller should check before travelling. A station with no lifts listed is NOT a station without lifts — it may simply not report live status yet.
