European Railway Timetable iOS App

[WessexEclectic]

The ERT app appears to have been withdrawn from the Apple Store - see here .

Any info as to why?

App is still available on Android - here .

The cureent edition is a downloadable PDF - or did I miss another option?

Bumping for any more info...

This wasn't an April fool!

The Android version is no longer updated. The November 2025 digital edition was the last one to be uploaded.

It looks like they've moved to a PDF model for the digital editions. Which in my view is better, as the app wasn't the best.

That's a positive, as the app was utterly appalling. I bought one copy in the app once - said it was downloaded, the requirement being to use it without a network connection, and it failed when needed. As a result I have never bought a copy since, having bought paper copies prievously. One bad experience = one lost customer.

I've just bought the 'Summer 26' printed edition of the ERT - I have to say it is a bit of a downgrade. The 'International' section has been trimmed considerably and no longer shows potential connections from London - you are just referred to the Eurostar London - Paris / Brussels table. The whole point of the timetable back to early Thomas Cook days was to assist travellers from GB! Some of the 'Country' tables have been trimmed too - and my local station has been removed. Grrr!

From the PDF version of ERT:

Regular readers will notice a few changes which we hope will make it easier to navigate our tables. Although the basic style of our tables remains the same, the font size within the tables and of the notes has been increased to improve legibility. We have also increased the size of the outer margins to solve the problem of content adjacent to the spine of the book sometimes being difficult to read.
These changes have resulted in a slight reduction in the
number of services we show, with a small number of lesser used routes and stations having being removed.

Compared with the previous digital version I find it much easier to read though not to search.
However, I too miss the Eurostar times at Lille and Brussels.
A further rejig of the new T351 (whose 3 subsections overlap considerably) might allow the former to reappear, and London connections on T20 Paris-Brussels-Cologne-Frankfurt are equally important.
That said, I suspect that ERT is much less GB centred in its readership than it used to be, especially as there are very few national printed books now.

Well they've asked for feedback, so I have responded! Hopefully they will reinstate at least some of the basic connections - changing at Lille or Paris is usually involved in any French rail holiday from GB.
