It's the only bookmark that's survived on each phone since my 7110. It does give you live departure/arrivals for a given station though it's not linked to the timetable lookup which I agree is annoying. For me it was the best original WAP site.

It's a petty request since it doesn't really matter what platform it's on until you get to the station, but it could come in handy, especially at some stations where platform changes are frequent, and unannounced (or in most cases announced by platform staff a handy 10 seconds before the train leaves from its new platform). It would also be useful if the WAP site listed any disruptions, I've lost track of how many trains I've caught that were late and the staff response has been a 'dunno', just because they've not been informed.

Never had a problem with it. Funny thing is - I only found it about a year ago when a 'normob' ;) showed it to me... I’ve always used Vodafone’s own offering c/o Vodafone Live.
