Blog Camp via Cross Country Trains


In return for writing this post I'm being sent complimentary train tickets to Blog Camp UK in Birmingham this April. How cool is that?

I'm a frequent train traveller as I don't drive and I often make use of phone apps in planning my journey. The new Train Tickets mobile app from Cross Country trains aims to improve the travelling experiences of passengers on all train routes and with any rail provider in Britain.

It provides real time train information so travellers can clearly see live train times and the expected arrival time at each station along the line.

The result is you can foresee any delays and check connections and you’re able to book your rail tickets based on the most up-to-date information.

You can also purchase train tickets for certain routes directly through the mobile app, and the m-ticket (mobile ticket) will be saved in the handy ticket unsecured loan wallet within the app making it easy to access and almost impossible to lose.

The Train Tickets app supports iPhone, Blackberry, Android and Nokia smartphones as well as most everyday handsets and can be downloaded from major app stores. Just search for Train Tickets.
I’m yet to try the app out but I have downloaded it and I think the idea of live train times is an excellent one. The reviews in the iTunes App store are generally good but I’m keen to try it out for myself and I’ll update this post when do. bad credit loans 

If you're going to Blog Camp, I'll see you there!
