Regularly commuting 3-4 hours by rail from the West of England into London, I grew frustrated with the existing options to plan and replan my journeys. I was juggling multiple tabs just to work out if the train I was waiting for was already in London, then mentally calculating whether I'd make my later connection. RailPilot started as a pure in-journey companion — still its sweet spot — but it can now also plan ahead. You pick a destination, it works out from GPS which train you're already on (or about to board), and it narrates the journey in plain English as you travel. You get live ETAs at every stop (and every signal/junction), info on whether your connection time is growing or shrinking, platform change alerts, and, when a connection provably can't be made, an automatic, reasoned replan. It genuinely feels like magic to see a message tell you exactly which train is causing the delay ahead, the status of the signal ahead of your train and an estimate of when you'll be on the move again. And frequently this is all in the user's hand before an on-train announcement has even been made. No accounts, no ads, no analytics cookie, and therefore no consent banner. Tell me what you think; does this fill a journey planning/tracking gap for you, too? Thanks, Chris
