- For
- UK freight forwarders, terminal teams, hauliers, and platform developers
- Worth noticing
- Its example board separates delayed, cancelled, not-yet-activated, and simply unreported trains instead of collapsing them into “on time.”
Field notes
The homepage presents a sample arrivals board with named UK routes and distinct states for held, cancelled, not activated, and awaiting data. Its described workflow combines schedules and railway reports, places positions on rail geometry, and attaches a confidence reading to forecasts. The site also points developers to REST, webhooks, MCP, and a sandbox key; the displayed board is identified as sample data.
