5th May 2011 - Mobile Commerce launches Android TrainTimes app Powered by National Rail Enquiries

Mobile Commerce, the UK’s leading provider of location-based services (LBS) and mobile content integration, has partnered with National Rail Enquiries to launch the TrainTimes app for Android handsets.

Utilising National Rail Enquires’ definitive information on all passenger rail services on the National Rail network in England, Wales and Scotland, the ‘TrainTimes’ app provides live departure and arrival information for all National Rail stations, including platform numbers. The app also offers a full journey planner for rail routes across the UK, which provides the quickest route for a chosen journey.

The app also features the ‘My Commute’ function that acts as a personalised live departure board. The user simply sets up a ‘home’ and ‘work’ station so they can quickly and easily check the live status of trains to or from work.

As well as offering the type of travel information you’d find on a website, the app uses handset location to display the nearest stations and stores recent stations and journeys. It also includes a real-time progress indicator to show where the train is on the route.

The TrainTimes app is available from Android Market here for £2.99.
