See where your train is, live — and share it with whoever's picking you up.
The page refreshes itself while it is open, so nobody has to keep asking where you are. Links expire after the day of travel, and they aren't indexed by search engines — but anyone holding one can open it, so treat it as public.
A tracking link is something someone has to look at. If you would rather be told, you can add an email address to a journey you are tracking and get a message when something actually changes — a platform alteration, the delay crossing fifteen, thirty or sixty minutes, and a final one when you arrive.
The rules are deliberately quiet. A train sitting at twenty minutes late for an hour is one email, not one every poll; a delay that is recovering does not generate anything, because nobody needs telling their train is now less late than it was; and there is a hard cap on how many messages one journey can ever send. You confirm the address before anything is sent, and every message carries a one-click unsubscribe.
When a tracked journey arrives late enough to be worth a claim, the last message points you at the operator's own Delay Repay page. We tell you how late you were and who to claim from, and stop there — we deliberately do not tell you what you are owed.
That is not caution for its own sake. Every operator sets its own thresholds and bands, they are published only on each operator's own website, and there is no feed of them anywhere. A table of thresholds here would go stale silently, and a stale one would tell somebody they were entitled to money when they were not. Compensation commonly starts somewhere around fifteen to thirty minutes; the operator's page is the only authority on which.
