Your commute,
watched.

Live UK departure boards on your home screen — and the evidence to claim Delay Repay when your train lets you down. Free, no ads.

Currently listed on the App Store as “My Departure Board” — it becomes CommuteWatch with the next update. Same app, same developer.

The board, before you leave the house

A home-screen widget with the live departure board for the stations you use — the same data as the screens on the platform, checked with a glance instead of opening an app. If the 14:10 is cancelled, you know while your coffee is still hot.

Only the trains you'd actually catch

Pin a commute — “from Waterloo, calling at Richmond” — and the board filters to trains that stop where you get off. No scrolling past every stopping service to Southampton to find yours.

Delayed? That can be money back.

Save your trip with one tap as you board. CommuteWatch checks how the train actually ran, and when the delay crosses your operator's Delay Repay threshold it shows you the amount of delay recorded and takes you straight to the claim form — with the journey details you need already on screen.

Especially useful if you pay by contactless or hold a season ticket — the passengers the automatic-compensation schemes mostly miss.

Departure board showing a cancelled service with the reason: trespassers on the railway

Straight from the source. Departure data comes live from National Rail's Darwin feed — the same system that drives the boards at the station. Covers National Rail, the Elizabeth line and the London Overground (not the Tube). No account, no tracking ads, free. Built in London by one commuter who was tired of being ambushed on the platform.
