Train times/Journey planner app for UK. What features should I implement?
Post Body

The official National Rail app is a disgrace and all the rail operator apps are focused on selling tickets. I'm building an app that gives you live train times, alerts for specific trains and wake up alarms as well as a nice widget. It'll be free and have a really nice UI (going to use it to show potential future employers and hopefully write some articles about some of the UI implementation).

Features I can think of right now:

  • Train times from (and to) stations
  • Support for complex journeys involving multiple trains
  • Wake up alarms (for catching and getting off trains)
  • Nearby stations
  • Stats for nerds (if possible)

  • Please leave some suggestions!

I've already worked out how to get all the relevant data from National Rail (PITA but working now), so should be able to release within a month (no promises)!
