Turn any device into a live UK train departure board

Works on any phone, tablet or computer. Search by station name or three-letter CRS code, then leave it open for live departure times, platforms, delays and calling points.

The platform view shows the next three trains and a large clock. Tap the clock for the concourse view when you want the longer list. Full screen and a wake lock make the board useful on a phone or tablet left on a desk.

Departures are fetched in your browser from Signalboarder's small gateway. There is no account and no journey history: Signalboarder does not store the station you view or the trains returned to you.

Common questions

Is Signalboarder free?

Yes. The hosted departure board has no account, signup or paid tier.

Does Signalboarder store my journeys?

No. Signalboarder has no user database and stores no journey or station history. Your browser can remember a station locally on your own device.

Where do the live departures come from?

Signalboarder's gateway reads National Rail's Darwin live departure data and returns a small, consistent board model to the browser and physical board.

Is there a physical Signalboarder board?

Yes. Signalboarder also runs on a purpose-built ESP32-S3 board with an AMOLED display. The physical board and browser use the same departure model.

How do I run it full screen?

Tap Full screen in the header. The screen stays awake while the board is up. If you don't see the button, add Signalboarder to your home screen instead: it opens in its own window with no browser bars.
