Changelog
Release notes for StationView. Each entry documents a shipped change with structured sections for passengers, contributors, and search engines.
A friendlier screen when you're offline
If you've used StationView before and lose signal, you'll see our offline screen with a retry button—not the browser's generic error page.
Translations stay put after the page loads
Fixed an issue where some pages briefly showed the correct language, then switched to untranslated labels a few seconds later.
Route planner now fully translated
The UK route planner is now fully translated in French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Finnish, Japanese, and Chinese — labels, hints, saved places, and location features.
Calling-at stops stay visible when UK boards refresh
UK departure boards keep showing calling-at stops through live refreshes instead of clearing the list each time the board updates.
What's happening is now official announcements only
UK What's happening still shows National Rail notices on station boards, but passenger posting is paused while we rethink the community feed.
Live boards stay on the latest update
UK departure boards no longer flash new times and snap back to older ones after a refresh—updates now stick until something newer arrives.
Quicker home pages on mobile
Regional home pages load their mascot artwork faster on phones—smaller images where they appear on screen, without changing how the site looks.
Lighter home page illustrations
Home page mascots are now smaller and sharper on load—less to download on mobile without changing how they look on screen.
Faster live departure boards
StationView loads UK boards quicker on slow connections—lighter pages, snappier refresh, and calling points when you need them.
Route planner: use current location instead of saved places
Saved places are removed from the UK route planner. Outside London, tap Use current location to start from where you are — we pick the nearest boarding stop.
Life-like route planner — rough starts, places, and boarding stops
Plan from your current location or a London area to a station or place. See which boarding stop to head for — without walking directions to the tube.
UK live departure boards restored
UK station pages load live National Rail departures again using official Rail Data Marketplace credentials instead of third-party proxy services.
UK train operator punctuality rankings
Compare UK train operators by official on-time performance (PPM) and see live departures linked from every board.
UK station search and directory restored
The UK station directory and search again list all National Rail stations after a bad data refresh left the list empty.
Custom board themes in Settings
Choose board themes or build your own, then copy a share code so friends can import your colours in Settings.
What's happening posts no longer need your location
UK What's happening no longer asks for browser location when you post — share a station tip from anywhere without a geolocation prompt.
What's happening: official notices and reliable storage
UK What's happening now shows National Rail official notices with an Official tag and stores passenger posts in Neon Postgres, applied automatically on deploy.
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.
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.
