For iPhone and Apple Watch
Your change of train, tracked.
Platted follows both trains of a journey with a change. As you pull into the change station, one push tells you your next train's platform and how long you have. If the change gets tight, it tells you, with the next train on that route.
Every train you add gets its platform the moment it is confirmed, often before the departure board shows it, and a push if it changes.

Tracked connections
Your next platform, as you pull in
Westbury to Reading, then Reading to Gatwick Airport. Platted watches both trains. As you near Reading, one push tells you your next train, its platform and how many minutes you have to change.
It says honestly whether that platform is confirmed, planned or only usual. A planned platform is never sold as a confirmed one.
It works whether both trains came in one booking or you added them one at a time.
-
Arriving at Reading in about 5 minutes, on time. Change for the 18:32 to Gatwick Airport, platform 4, planned. 9 minutes to change.
-
Tight change at Reading: about 1 minute for the 18:32 to Gatwick Airport. The next is the 18:47.
Through the change
From one train to the next
A change is where a journey goes wrong. Platted keeps an eye on both sides of it.
A countdown to your change
The Live Activity on your Lock Screen counts down to the change, with your next train and platform underneath. When you arrive, it hands over to the next train.
Your next train on its way in
Platted follows your connecting train before it reaches you, and shows where it is and how late.
Your train is at Didcot Parkway, 4 min late
Told once if it gets tight
If your first train is running late and the change gets tight, or you will miss it, you hear once. The push names the next train on that route.
Getting started
Five ways to add a journey
No setup. Tap Add and pick whichever is easiest.
-
Forward the booking email
You get your own Platted address. Forward your booking confirmation to it and the journey appears on your board.
-
Photograph the ticket
Take a picture of your ticket. Platted reads the stations, date and time from it.
-
Type it in
Choose the stations and when you travel. Platted lists the real trains near your time. Tap yours.
-
Scan a platform board
Photograph the screen on your platform and pick your train from it.
-
Next train from here
See the departures from the station you are at and tap the one you are catching.
If Platted is not sure it found the right train, the journey waits under Check these until you confirm it. Add both trains of a change, from one booking or two, and the connection is tracked for you.
Honest by design
It tells you what it knows, and how sure it is
A platform is not real until it is confirmed. Until then Platted shows what it expects, dimmed, and says so. A guess is never drawn like a fact.
- Usually 4 · 6 of 8
- Platted keeps its own history of how each train runs. This one has used platform 4 on 6 of its last 8 runs. It is a pattern, not a promise.
- Platform change · was 2
- When a confirmed platform moves, the digit turns red and you get a push straight away.
- Arrive 18:23 · likely 18:21 to 18:27
- Once you are moving, you see your booked arrival and the range this train is likely to arrive in, from how it has run before.
Notifications
Quiet until it matters
One push when your platform is confirmed. One if it changes. One if your train is cancelled, and one if it starts running late after it leaves.
One as you near your stop, with your next train if you have a change. One if that change gets tight. Nothing else.
Platform and tight change pushes are time sensitive, so they reach you through Focus. You choose which ones you get in Settings.
-
