It's nice to be able to report good news about an important service now and then. So I'm glad to say that the new-look National Rail Enquiries website is a great improvement in both appearance and utility.
The website, run by Britain's Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC), enables you to plan a rail journey and find out train times and prices. It has always been useful but, in the past it was a bit of a dogs dinner to look at, confusing and difficult to use.
But take a look at National Rail Enquires now. Everything is organized to make it easy for you to get details of train journeys, find the cheapest fares and buy your tickets.
There are a lot more functions, including the Stations Made Easy web tool launched last week, which have all been streamlined and made easy to navigate and use. Good show and thanks ATOC.

It’s really an impressive posting. I liked it & think that it will be helpful for others. Keep up the good work. Good luck.
Easy to use, But shame it is not kept up-to-date. Arrived at my local station and found train cancelled. Website said train “on time” only 15 minutes previously!
Just curious Hammy,
Did this happen in the last couple of days. The snow and ice have wreaked havoc on the train services – and it is even possible that the people who maintain ATOC’s web services couldn’t make it into work that day.
