No, not you, the person operating the computer – the companies operating the trains! Another update has been pushed out by Kevin Wells to his application for checking railway timetables, TrainTimes, with a behavioural improvement and a handy new feature.

No, wait, that’s ‘two (point oh) two’. Kevin Wells has updated his railway timetable-checking application TrainTimes again, bringing it up to version 2.02. The changes in this version are a mix of cosmetic changes and bug fixes.

TrainTimes 2.01 released

An update has been released by Kevin Wells for his application that helps RISC OS users look-up railway timetables and other related information. Called TrainTimes, the software acts as a go-between by using Wget to relay the users’ selections to a remote provider, Real Time Trains and National Rail depending on what is being looked up, and to receive the results of that. Those results are then processed and displayed by the application itself.

News nybble: TrainTimes updated

Kevin Wells has released an updated version of TrainTimes, his application for finding out the times of trains due in at a given railway station. The update brings with it a similar function to the not unrelated BusTimes, in that it now politely informs you when there are no trains expected at the station (though it doesn’t tell you if this is because there are leaves on the track). It also now correctly displays an ampersand (&) when it encounters the character’s UTF8 code.

Arriving on the platform now: Train times

TrainTimes is a new application from Kevin Wells. Less astute readers might assume that’s some kind of newspaper for train spotters, but everyone else will surely realise it’s actually for viewing the times that trains are due. The application can display the times for up to the next eight trains that are due at any given UK railway station, with a button for each of those trains that will show you the stations and times for that individual train.
