Raildar Website

Live Train Map
Another handy website for when your out and about on or near the UK rail network, is Raildar which can be found here:
This website gives & shows actual live up to date real time on where trains are on the UK network. For the weblink, we’ve picked Edingburgh Waverly station. This one though shows the trains actually moving on the map. Thus you can track the train exactly to its precise location & if your travelling you’ll know where your actual train is. Another bonus if you’re out filming/ photographing line siding at a location you’ll know how long it’ll before the next train will appear.
In the menu box type in the location or station, you want to see. The map for your chosen location will appear. You can also scroll & move the map around as well as zoom in & out for a closer or wider look.
The map would be a great thing to recreate say for your own model railway layout or producing a map of your track layout in the same style.
So if you have a smartphone which I think most folk these days have one, it’s worth bookmarking this site on your mobile internet on your smartphone.
If you’ve never used this open train times website before we’ll take a basic look at it, concentrating more on the live map side of it.
