Realtime Trains is a trusted and reliable independent source of live realtime running information for the Great British railway network. As a brand, we are committed to providing accurate and up-to-date data to help passengers track their trains and stay informed about their journeys.

Operated by swlines ltd, a team led by Tom Cairns with a decade of experience in rail software, Realtime Trains specializes in developing systems to enhance customer experience and information. We have been involved in various high visibility projects over the past five years, showcasing our expertise and commitment to innovation.

Our journey began in 2012 with the launch of Realtime Trains, integrating timetable data with train running information. Since then, we have continuously evolved and introduced new features including unique train detail, TfL integration, and the launch of Know Your Train in collaboration with ScotRail and LNER.

With our latest offering, Track Your Train, launched in September 2020, passengers can access train-specific running information, including current location, forward progress, and potential causes of delay.

At Realtime Trains, we pride ourselves on being the go-to source for live railway information, ensuring that passengers have the knowledge and confidence to plan their journeys efficiently.
