Passenger awareness for UK rail

Know your station.
Know your rights.

PlatformWatch shows real-time station activity reported by fellow passengers — so you always know what's happening before you travel.

Now live on the App Store and Google Play. Installed Android from this site before? Move over to Google Play.

A clearer picture of your journey

Crowdsourced, photo-verified, and updated in real time by passengers like you.

Live station map

Every UK rail and London Underground station on one map. Active stations stand out instantly.

Photo-verified reports

Every report includes a photo to verify presence — not rumours. Reports automatically expire after 3 hours.

Updated in real time

The map updates the moment a new report comes in or an old one expires — no refresh needed.

How PlatformWatch works

The full experience runs on the web — and the app keeps you covered on the move.

Get the app for alerts

The mobile app adds instant alerts when officers are reported near you, plus one-tap reporting on the go.

PlatformWatch is a passenger awareness and safety tool. It helps you understand what's happening at your station and know your rights — it is not a tool to avoid paying fares. Please report responsibly and never photograph people's faces.
