For the age-old question of “where’s my train?”, there's now a new live map for that which tracks rail traffic across France, Spain and Belgium.
Launched in August with an initial focus on the three countries, TrainTracker24 lets users browse Europe’s railway network in real time, from how many trains are active, average delay time in minutes, percentage of on-time trains as well as the percentage of cancellations. The map itself can be rotated, zoomed and explored to your heart's content.
Users can filter the map by a country’s train operator, with TrainTracker24 also including data on Eurostar and Italy’s Frecciarossa service. Other filters focus on infrastructure, such as stations that are without any rail service, those with high-speed lines, and stations that are operational, but closed to members of the public. There are also widgets with live rankings of the most delayed trains and most disrupted stations.
And if you have a train number handy, even better. Train enthusiasts can look up scheduled runs, past journeys as well as live tracking. Other search functions include departures, arrivals, punctuality and facilities available at stations in France, Germany, Spain and Belgium.
