# Kettle

> Kettle is a UK train app for people who take the same trains every day. It already knows your journey, so you open it and your train is there: live times from National Rail's Darwin feed, the platform it usually leaves from before it's announced, and how the day's trains have run. Made by DB Five Ltd, a British company. Kettle is independent of National Rail and the train companies.

Kettle covers every National Rail station in Great Britain and every train company that runs from them. It's on the iPhone App Store (https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/id6821071670) and Google Play for Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.dbfive.rail) and works in any up-to-date browser at https://app.kettletrains.com/, including on Android, where a Google Play app is on the way. Anyone can sign in with their email address; there's no password.

## What it does

- Your trains, already checked: every train on your usual route and any station, live, with the platform, line status, a live map and passenger reports. Free.
- The platform before it's announced: the one your train usually leaves from, marked as a guess until it's confirmed. Free.
- How your train really runs: on time, late or cancelled, day by day; which train to catch to arrive by a certain time is Premium.
- Alerts when your train is late or cancelled, and when your whole line is having a bad day (Premium).
- Another way round when your line is blocked, with live times (Premium; free on days the line is closed).
- Outlook: warnings for heat, storms, frost and big football matches on your line, the night before (Premium).
- Delay Repay: every train on your route that was 15 minutes or more late or cancelled, with the claim deadline and what the claim form asks for. Claims are made by you, with the train company (Premium).
- On iPhone: Home and Lock Screen widgets and CarPlay through widgets (free); a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, and an Apple Watch app (Premium); Siri and Shortcuts.
- Share your journey live with a link, no app needed to follow it (free); tell people automatically when you're running late (Premium).
