PLATFORM PAL

Know your platform before the station shows it.

Platform Pal watches the railway’s own signals and tells you the platform as early as it can be known, and is honest about how sure it is.

Platforms marked confirmed are right about 97% of the time.

Three words, never a guess

Expected

The platform the railway has booked for your train. Usually right, and it can change nearer to departure.

Likely

Your train is already routing to this platform. Not on the station boards yet, but it rarely changes at this stage.

Confirmed

The station’s own departure boards are showing this platform. Head over when you’re ready.
