Designed for the sprint.

Close-up of the Platform 1 route filter UI

Signal, No Noise.

A highly customised A-to-B filter. Set your active days and time windows. We slice through massive National Rail feeds to isolate only the direct trains you actually care about.

Close-up of the live departure board feature

Total Visibility.

Edge-to-edge departures and arrivals pulling deep queues of data, complete with real-time station alerts and high-contrast status indicators.

Close-up of the saved favourites feature

Zero Onboarding.

Save regular stops instantly. No forced account creation, no mandatory sign-ups. Use it anonymously, or optionally sync your data to the cloud later.

Respects your phone.

Respects your privacy.

Built to be a lightweight utility, not a data mining operation.

Commuter Verified.

Tested by people who actually use the railway. Every single day.

"Southern Rail is still fundamentally broken, but at least with this app I know exactly how broken it is before I even leave my house. Saves me freezing on the platform."

MARK T.
Brighton to Victoria

"I used to tap through four menus on another app just to find my train while running for the barriers. Platform 1 just opens and it’s there. Absolute game changer."

SARAH J.
Reading to Paddington

"Paid for the Pro version on day two. £4.99 a year is less than I spend on a single flat white at King's Cross. Worth every penny for the ad-free radar alone."

DAVID L.
Cambridge to King's Cross

Clear the Signals.

Where do you get your live train data?

We pull directly from the official National Rail Darwin feeds. This is the exact same data system that powers the physical departure boards at the stations. If it says it's delayed there, it's delayed here.

Can I buy tickets through Platform 1?

No. We are not a ticket retailer, and we never will be. Adding ticket purchasing adds bloat, accounts, and friction. We are a pure utility built to get you to the right platform at the right time.

Does the Free tier expire?

Never. The basic tier is permanently free. It includes live boards, 3 saved favourites, and 1 active commute radar route, supported by non intrusive banners. You only upgrade if you want unlimited tracking and zero ads.
