Getting you there, step by step

Designed to be simple to use  (and free) it makes travel easier for everyone, including people who aren’t great with technology or find public transport a challenge.

There’s no app to download or map to follow, you simply put your destination into Journey Alerts.

While some travellers use journey information apps, not everyone is comfortable with them, and many don’t have a mobile at all. For anyone already dealing with anxiety issues or who has a disability, the difficulties are much greater.

With you all the way...

We work out the best way to get there and send timely alerts to your phone throughout your journey. You’re told what to do every step of the way - with a buzz to alert you to your next instruction.

...even when things go wrong

And if your train is delayed or cancelled, we will send vouchers - perhaps for coffee or a sandwich at a nearby coffee shop.
