More reliable UK live departure boards
UK station boards recover automatically when live data credentials fail, and service notices from National Rail display correctly again.
Changelog
Release notes for StationView. Each entry documents a shipped change with structured sections for passengers, contributors, and search engines.
Carriage count on UK departure boards
UK National Rail departure boards now show how many coaches each train has, helping you find the right spot on the platform before the train arrives.
Station boards now show their own link preview image
When you share a station departure board link, the preview card now shows that station’s name instead of the generic StationView image.
What's happening stays reliable at busy stations
UK What's happening on station boards now refreshes a little less often so the community feed stays available when many people are viewing the same board.
Cleaner departure columns when stop lists are unavailable
Belgian and French boards no longer show a “calling points unavailable” line on every train when intermediate stops cannot be loaded.
What's happening posts stay visible for everyone
UK What's happening updates now persist in shared storage so posts you submit at a station remain visible to other passengers viewing the same board.
UK route planner — National Rail and London Underground
Plan UK rail and Tube journeys at /plan: search any stop, see colour-coded legs, choose leave-now or arrive-by, and jump to live boards where you board.
Easier to spot What's happening on UK boards
The inline What's happening strip on UK station boards now has a labelled Show / Hide control so the collapsible feed is easier to spot without changing the rest of the board styling.
What's happening — live station updates from passengers
UK National Rail boards now include a collapsible What's happening feed: short, moderated tips from people at the station that expire after 24 hours.
Book tickets on Trainline from station boards
Supported UK and European station boards can show a Book tickets link to Trainline when affiliate tracking is configured in your deployment.
Custom analytics for key passenger actions
StationView now records custom Vercel Web Analytics events when you open settings, pick a station from search, or use track, share, or watch train on boards.
Watch train on departure boards
Each departure column now has a Watch train link beside Share train—it opens the same highlight link and keeps the train in view when the board refreshes.
Live line map on Track live
Track live now draws a simple line map of your train's calling points, with a service-coloured dot that creeps along to roughly where the train should be now.
Live recency on departure boards
Station boards show when the next auto-refresh is due, a live pulse when data is fresh, and a manual Refresh control in the footer bar.
