@chriscollins462 @splittieful @TrainLifeGB No, this is the data feed simply not updating. We show precisely what we receive from the operators.

@splittieful @TrainLifeGB As always, the most boring explanation is the correct one. This is RTT misinterpreting a unit swap as both sets running together. A 455 and a 701 definitely can't run together 😝

@iMeyrick @rafthemaster @SW_Help @swtrains_watch The data feed updates every 5 minutes.

@RealtimeTrains @rafthemaster @SW_Help @swtrains_watch How often do your systems collect that data?

Anyone able to enlighten me as to why @RealtimeTrains is displaying absolutely wrong unit IDs for all @SW_Help trains today? @swtrains_watch

@michaelshield17 RTT+ includes 5 years history, so today it's 14th January 2021.

@RealtimeTrains How far back can we if we pay the 25 quid for the year

We've just launched RTT+, our new subscription service that unlocks ad-free viewing and more! Just £25 a year. We've also added extended data history (3 months, 6 months by January 2026) - helpful if you want to lookup quite how late that train was way back!

We've just heard in that 1X01 from North Pole is getting ready to go... 🎅 realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:…

@chriscollins462 @RailMiles All the details are at blog.realtimetrains.com/2025/12/railmi… :-)

@neilonaniet @RailMiles No, you can continue to just pay for RailMiles. But it'll offer you options with RTT+ as well.

@RailMiles Am I right in thinking that this new system is forcing me to pay for RTT as well as RailMiles?

We've released an update to RailMiles in preparation for a series of improvements and updates to all of our products. Including display names and site titles. More information is available on the @RealtimeTrains blog.

@RailwayExplorer @RailMiles We haven't increased the price of RailMiles in 3 years and have no intention to do so.

So after several years of using @RailMiles to log my railway journeys, I won’t be using them anymore

@CharlieRWalker Yes, we are. That will be made available during December.

@RealtimeTrains Can you consider doing a combined railmiles/RTT+ subscription that gives you the best of both worlds, perhaps marginally cheaper for having both? E.g instead of £30(RM) + £25 (RTT+), could could do both for say £50?

@epyon611 We are working on it and will have something to announce next month.

@RealtimeTrains Any chance at allowing people from outside the UK to pay for the subscription?? I would like to use it when I go over to the UK on a vacation, but it won't let me as I'm considered a non-UK resident. I'm in the US.

We are excited to announce that we've now been able to extend data history within our RTT+ subscription service to 5 years at no extra cost!

You can subscribe now at realtimetrains.co.uk/plus/. Find out more on our blog at blog.realtimetrains.com/2025/10/introd…

@Andrewislington Yes, we'll be rolling those out in December.

@RealtimeTrains Can we pair this with railmiles to a super subscription?

@MrNicholasBeggs On the page that you have taken that screenshot on, searching history more than 7 days ago never worked. We extended it to 14 days a few weeks ago. Again, we are not removing anything we have always officially supported.

Appalled at @RealtimeTrains for making some of its services subscription only 🙄

@TrainLifeGB Train allocation data is out of our control and sent by the operators, so not a lot for us to fix. But we can see all three of those units out today.

@EdFromYorkshire No. It's powered by our friends at @Raileasy :)

@RealtimeTrains Great job, super fast. Is this powered by TrainLine?

We're excited to announce a new feature on our train ticket site, Realtime Tickets! We call it Fares First and is what it says on the tin. We know a lot of you are knowledgeable in fares so we have made this for you. Available now on the 'Detailed' button on any search page.

You can find it now on realtimetickets.co.uk behind the 'Detailed' button in the filters on any search page.
