This is a good idea that could be great. TrainTracker gets realtime train running times from the live departure boards data feed so you can get accurate info on the train you are running for.
Why isn’t it great? Well, a simple update to being able to use the station short codes via the keypad would be great. Right now it uses voice recognition, you know the sort of thing ‘Did you say Machester’ right after you actually said London. Couple this with standing in a loud busy place where you can hardly hear then you see the problem, its worst just where you need it most.
However, the idea and sentiment is great. Anyway, all stations have three letter codes like airports, so for instance CHX is London Charing Cross so I should be able to call Train Tracker and type in 249 (CHX). Hopefully they will add this real soon as its a no-brainer.
