Where do people here get their train information (timetables, live arrival and departure boards etc). Of course every train operator and National Rail all provide this information but it occurs to me that, as this data is open source, some enthusiasts may have created leaner cookie, ad and tracker free info sites. I use https://traintimes.org.uk/ but surely there must be others.

    I think you can bookmark services on all the sites mentioned here. Although, I suppose, some sites may delete the services once they’ve arrived.

      Probably. I know that I’ve copied the OTT URL for the service’s page into the notes field in a calendar entry before travelling, and it still works <checks> a couple of weeks later, although <checks> if I go back further it says “Schedule L15359 was not valid on 2024-03-19”, so I’m guessing they get dumped after a month. Probably a limitation of the Network Rail data/licence.
