| I have finally found it
after more than a year of searching, something useful to do with WAP. Train operator website, National Rail, has introduced a new experimental system on its main website where you can access live timetable information for UK train stations. And, lo and behold, they have introduced the system on WAP mobile phones a godsend for the traveller! Although the current trial system has quite a few gaps in coverage most notably Londons Paddington station both main Bristol stations are represented. At present, none of the smaller stations around the city, such as stations on the Severn Beach line are covered although the departures from Temple Meads are. The beauty of the system is that now you can monitor how your train to work, or train home, to see if it is running on time or not. The website offers pretty in-depth and easy to use information. Select the station, hit go, and you will see the departures and delays. The WAP site is pretty much as easy to use. You can either type in "Bristol", or select the city from the regionalised menu system. Combine this with GPRS always-on functionality, and you will be a good few steps ahead of your fellow commuters.
