✈ Flights
Your airport, live on your desk
Pick any airport in the world and watch its departure or arrivals board tick over in real time — airline, flight number, terminal, and live status, updated every minute.
- ✓
Every airport, worldwide
From Heathrow to Haneda — if it has an IATA code, you can display it.
- ✓
Live status as it happens
Boarding, go to gate, delays with revised times — exactly as the airport sees it.
- ✓
Two looks, one device
A crisp modern board, or a classic retro flip-board straight out of the terminal.
- ✓
Departures or arrivals
Waiting on a pickup? Flip the same device to the arrivals board in seconds.
🚆 Rail
Any station in Britain, on your shelf
Live National Rail departures for the station you actually use. Glance at your desk before you leave the house — platform, delays, and cancellations, exactly as the station shows them.
- ✓
Every National Rail station
All 2,500+ stations across England, Scotland and Wales.
- ✓
Two board styles
A full station departure board, or a platform-style next-train display with calling points.
- ✓
Delays the moment they happen
Live running data — not the timetable — so you know before you set off.
- ✓
Made for commuters
Set it to your local station once and never sprint for a cancelled train again.
