The new National Rail Enquiries website is designed to allow access from a number of devices and web browsers at www.nationalrail.co.uk. A summary list of devices supported is given below. If you have a request for support of another device, please let us know by filling in a feedback form.
Supported PDA Devices:
Pocket PC
Sony Ericsson P900 and P901
Hewlett Packard Ipaq
Windows CE
BlackBerry
