National Rail iPhone App
The UK’s rail service can be excellent at times, and annoying at others. Hundreds of thousands of people travel by train every day in the UK to commute or to go on holiday. As such, they have just released an official iPhone app (it’ll work on the iPod touch too) for the train service.
Basically, you set up the app by entering your home location. You can then enter in other locations such as where you work or where you’re going on holidays. Then, you can check schedules and status updates on trains so you won’t ever miss your train. The best feature on this app is by far the ‘next train home’ feature. By simply telling it your location it tells you at what time the next train leaves for your home station.
You can download it here through the App Store.

It looks like a great app but why should we have to pay to view train times and book tickets, surely it should be free?
Nice post, except for the just: the app has been around for some months now http://www.windowswatch.co.uk/2009/03/national-rails.html
