You might like to look at the Live Departure Boards for your station. This really good facility gives online access to the platform 'live departure boards' for every station in the country. This lets you know the state of the trains, arrival and departure times, whether the trains are on time, late or cancelled as well as information about the station. An excellent facility which if you use the train frequently you might like to bookmark as a favourite.

If you want information on any service bulletins on how the network is running go here or future engineering works go here.
