A simple search box and a tap-anywhere map. No account, no clutter.
Search any way you like
Enter a postcode, a station name, a station code (CRS, e.g. PAD or YRK), or a line name like the West Coast Main Line, and the map flies straight to it.
Find your nearest stations
Drop a postcode or location and instantly see the three closest stations, with the distance to each.
Tap any station or line
Open a station for a link to its Wikipedia article and its location on Google Maps, or tap a line to see which route it is.

A quick look on a phone: search, tap a station, and switch on the layers you want.
