About

A site for looking at what the railway is actually doing: which trains are running, how late they are, and what stock is working them.

It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Network Rail, the Rail Delivery Group, or any train operator.

Do not rely on this to catch a train. The data can be incomplete, delayed or simply wrong. Use the operator's own information for anything that matters.

Source	What it gives
TRUST train movements Network Rail, continuous	Where a train actually was and when: activations, arrivals, departures and passing times, cancellations and reinstatements. Everything on this site with an observed time beside it comes from here.
Passenger Train Allocation and Consist Network Rail, continuous	Which vehicles are working which train, in order. This is what makes a formation diagram possible — the coach letters, the seat counts and the unit numbers.
VSTP Network Rail, continuous	Very short term plan: trains created or cancelled too late for the nightly timetable, which is most freight and anything arranged on the day.
The nightly schedule extract Rail Data Marketplace, 02:30 daily	The working timetable: every schedule, every calling point, the working and public times, the platform, the line and path, the allowances, and what the train does at each stop.
Darwin Rail Delivery Group, powered by National Rail	The live forecasts and platforms, the cancellations it knows of that TRUST does not -- including trains cancelled for only part of the way, and why -- and how full each coach is, where an operator publishes it.
Live Arrival and Departure Boards Rail Delivery Group	The station boards' own words: the delay and cancellation messages an operator is showing passengers at the time.
CORPUS location data OpenTrainTimes Ltd	Which code is which place: the TIPLOC, CRS and STANOX codes that tie the other feeds to station names.

The fleet register

Vehicle numbers, liveries and operators come from the community “Train Database 2026” spreadsheet, created by Ben Wright, used with permission, with contributions via the RailUK Forums. It is read once a day and joined to the live running data.

Licence

The Network Rail feeds -- TRUST, the allocation and consist feed, VSTP, the schedule extract and BPLAN -- are published under the Open Government Licence v3.0. This site contains public sector information licensed under that licence.

Darwin and the Live Arrival and Departure Boards are supplied by Rail Delivery Group through the Rail Data Marketplace, powered by National Rail. CORPUS location data is supplied by OpenTrainTimes Ltd through the same marketplace. Neither endorses this site.

Code descriptions — train categories, activity codes, power types, catering and reservation markings — are the CIF specification's own published meanings.

Where a time has not been reported, this site shows what it would be if the delay held, and marks it as a projection rather than an observation. Where nothing was reported at all it says so instead of filling the gap.

Some things the feeds disagree about. A timetable association and the operator's own stock allocation are two different planning systems and they are routinely inconsistent; where they are, the observed allocation is shown and the timetable's intention is labelled as booked.
