Mobile Commerce has partnered with National Rail Enquiries to launch the National Rail Enquiries app for the Vodafone 360 app store. Drawing on National Rail Enquiries’ definitive information on all passenger rail services on the National Rail network in England, Wales and Scotland, the app provides live departure and arrival information for all National Rail stations. It also offers a full journey planner for rail routes across the UK, which provides the quickest route for a chosen journey.

As well as offering the type of travel information you’d find on a website, the app uses handset location to display the nearest stations, and stores recent stations and journeys. It also includes a real-time progress indicator to show where the train is on the route. The app is available for Vodafones tailor-made touchscreen handsets – the Vodafone 360 Samsung H1 and Vodafone 360 Samsung M1 – as well as a range of Android phones.

“I believe (this app) will become the most popular app Mobile Commerce has worked on to date,” says Mobile Commerce CEO, Steve Page. “It offers everything the rail traveller needs, in real time, and from the convenience of their phone with just a touch of the screen. We’re looking forward to Vodafone’s customers benefiting from both our expertise in mobile and National Rail enquiries’ comprehensive information service to help make their journeys quicker and easier to plan.”

The National Rail Enquiries app for Vodafone 360 is available from the Vodafone 360 app store for a one off cost of £2.99.
