Decent live departures app

[Surreytraveller]

Is there a decent app I can use for live departures, similar to how the National Rail App was before its latest downgrade?
I've just updated the National Rail App and its not very good anymore.
The nearest I've found so far is the Trainline website (their app is worse than the National Rail one). But you have to bookmark each individual page on your favourites

https://trains.gaelan.me/ is great for the simple info, displays pretty much the same info as the station boards.

The Nextrain app is pretty good, you can customise it well.

https://tiger.worldline.global/home works well

That's very good for clear info, without any of the fluff

Can't work out how to change the station on it. It's stuck on Blackfriars. And it only shows trains for the next 90 minutes
EDIT: worked it out. How can I make a list of favourites?

That's okay. Bit of a faff to get through the menu. Doesn't seem to like CRS codes. And it only shows one page

Doesn't cover all stations though.

Yep, there's a thread on it but got locked due to inactivity.

Gaelan's train checker

Decided I wasn't happy with any of the existing tools* for checking train departures, so I threw together https://trains.gaelan.me over the weekend. It's still very much a work in progress (notably missing features include arrivals, filtering by destination, and trains more than 2 hours in the...

Fasteroute is my go-to.

I use quite a few websites for train info, depending on what I need.
RealTimetrains - for accurate departure/arrival timings
OpenTrainTimes - for live tracking of where said train is

I can't speak for how good they are, but I've heard good things of sites like https://departureboards.mobi/ which show similar if not the same information as the departure boards at stations

I totally agree that the latest changes to the Network Rail app is a real downgrade. If you look at a journey details and go back it takes you back to the beginning, not to the train you were looking at.

Do you know if there are any apps which give me the option NOT to show the scheduled time or cancelled services, and ONLY show the trains in estimated departing order in countdown form, like the departure boards at London Overground stations? I want one in other to take suburban trains which the timetable is not important.
