Kizoom's iPhone web application is a joy

I’ve been playing with Kizoom.mobi. That’s the address you need for UK train times when you’re on the go. Type it in to your phone and it’ll work beautifully — type it in to your iPhone and it’s even better.

The Kizoom chaps, now owned by CitySpace, have created a customised iPhone design. It’s a real joy to use.

In under 5 seconds, I was able to find out that, if I left London in 20 minutes, I could be in Edinburgh at 1733. No changes.

Here’s a bit more information from the Kizoom chaps themselves:

Kizoom.mobi out-classes other timetable-only services by delivering free and easy-to-navigate real-time rail timetables, fast journey planning, taxi finder, disruption news and route stops – a really useful bundle of travel services for people on the move.

Already a popular service for mobile phone users via the five major mobile operators, the new iPhone interface provides the unique ability to personalise commonly used destinations by bookmarking departures and arrivals giving users easy access via icons on the iPhone home screen. The service can also list all the stops along the route so you can see whether the selected train is a fast or slow service.

I’ve added it to my iPhone bookmarks.
