Hi all
I'm just guessing, but wouldn't it be easy to go on the net, via a
favourites link on the I-phone, and use the British Rail site that does the
same? The app will probably do that anyway, so the cost would be the same.
Cheers
Barry

hi will i think though for me it is well worth it as i can see where my
train is or when i am out piano tuning i can look at diferent stations to
find the best train if you try and ring up you never get through nowadays. i
am a great believer than paying for something as i think then you should get
better value. someone asked me to tune his piano and when i told him my
price he said the last time he used a tuner who only charged him £10 but he
also broke four strings which he could not replace.
