Journey Radar is an independent UK website that answers the questions people ask when a journey goes wrong: is my train running, what’s disrupted right now, are strikes or engineering works coming up, and how much compensation can I claim. We are not part of National Rail, Network Rail, TfL, the Rail Delivery Group, Great British Railways or any train company.
What we cover
Rail comes first:
- Live disruption: active National Rail disruption notices by operator, delay and cancellation counts for major stations, and TfL line status, refreshed every few minutes. See live rail disruption.
- Delay Repay: how the compensation scheme works for each major operator, how much you get, how long you have and where the official claim form is. Start with our Delay Repay guide.
- Planned disruption: engineering works, train strikes and Tube strikes.
We plan to add road disruption and flood warnings later, built the same way: open official data, shown as published, with clear times and dates.
What we don’t do
We don’t sell tickets or handle compensation claims. Delay Repay claims are always made with the train operator, and we link to each operator’s official form. We also don’t publish a departure board for every station. National Rail Enquiries and the operators already do that well, and we link to them.
How is the content produced?
Live sections are generated automatically from National Rail Enquiries and TfL open data. They are not checked by a person, and if the data is stale they say so instead of showing old information. Guides are written with AI assistance and compared against the official sources listed at the bottom of each page, with the date of that check shown at the top. The details are on our methodology page.
Who runs Journey Radar?
Journey Radar is published by the Journey Radar Team. Guides carry the “Journey Radar Team” byline, and we don’t put individual names on the site.
Corrections
Rules change, and operators update their pages without notice. If a page doesn’t match an operator’s current terms, the operator’s own page is what counts for your claim, and we want to hear about it so we can fix ours.
