Thank you chief, this is brilliant.

Would anyone know if there is any similar application for London Undergroud connections? Something like Joutney Planner

Cheers

Hi again,

I have a test version available for volunteers. I will keep it under testing for the next few days and upload it to this thread once testing has been completed.

If you are interested, post here and I will send thelink to you.

The instructions for the new version are as following:

When you launch, you can either click on the second button from the top right or resfresh button.

you will next, see the favorites interface. Here you will need to add new journeys by clicking on add button.

When you see stations screen, you can type in the first few letters and the list will scroll automatically. Once you select an item, the text field will be completed.

If you scroll the list instead of typing, you will need to press on from/to buttons to enter the station correctly.

Once you complete theis step you will go back to the favorites screen again.

This time please select the journey you would like to check and then press "Close" button.

In the main screen, now you need to press refresh and you will get the results. Once the reulsts are loaded, you can use details button to see the stations on this service and estimated progress.

The interface elements such as icons, button shapes, theme colors and application flow will be updated by next weekend.

functionalty such as arrivals and departures will also be added by next weekend.

For the next few days, I will keep the new version for volunteers only and address the issues they come across. If the results are good, I will upload this version with fixes to the main post.

I will check the requests and reply ealy in the morning tomorrow and I will be able to do so again later in the evening tomorrow.

Please feel free t provide feedback here.

I will love to try it out. Can't wait!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] m0j0j0j0123:
There is one on marketplace, but obvioulsy at a cost.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] m0j0j0j0123:
New version looks nice. I got to use this app properly for the first time today and it worked a treat, very handy and practical app. Super work. Much appreciated.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lee2305:
Def love to try this out..please please
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Beefheart:
New version is definitely an improvement, brilliant app.

Hi,

I have sent private messages to those who requested. Let me know if I missed anyone.

Live departures test...

I would very much like to test this for you sproxy..:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] weepatc:
Would love to try the new version, I'm still using the older version. Many thanks, very useful tool. :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xenept:
I'll try this out for you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] havoc99:
The beta app is brilliant. love the new layout. Very nice. I don't know if it has journey planner built in as yet though? ... That is the next step i suppose. Well done. ... Had to play around to figure out how to work it but i like. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] m0j0j0j0123:
Hi,

Just having a play now and it looks great, but I just hadan issue when I selected Edit>'Service Notices, it errored the app with a nullreferenceexception and a load of other techy stuff :D, it may be the feed, not the app, but thought you should know. It then forces the app to quit.

I like the fact you can view the details and see where the train is up to, very nice. ;)

I will keep playing with it, cracking work, keep it up. Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] scarymonkey:
I'm still using the old version so this could be fixed in the new beta but the Cotswold Line currently has a service bulletin alert saying 'Trainsto and from Oxfordare being delayed by up to20 min'. Notice the lack of spaces between Trains to, Oxford are and to 20.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chimpsinties:
I'd like to try this new beta please. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] p50kombi:
Give it a try..

Using your 13-02 version a lot..

Wouldn't mind trying new beta..

Give me a PM if you need a tester.

Thanks...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] B4PJS:
Nice little app mate, I am a regular commuter and this will come in very handy. I am willing to beta test for you.

---EDIT---

As a side note, would it be possible to be able to search for trains that have no stops between departure station and arrival station? For example I live in Reading and commute to London Paddington but only want information on the fast trains with Reading as the first stop. If not, it is not too much of an issue, it is just a nice to have feature :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] B4PJS:
Heya sproxy, Really love the redesigned app.

I have only one issue, when I try to plan Reading (RDG) to London Paddington (PAD) The application throws an error and quits, however when I plan PAD to RDG it works just fine.

Exception:

Value does not fall within the expected range.

at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowArgumentException(ExceptionResource resource)
at System.Collections.Generic.SortedList'2.Add(Int64 key, RailService value)
at LiveDepartures.Service.JourneyDownloader.DownloadJourney()
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tonycosta:
great app. Shame i get so many errors :(

still use it often though
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
I have to say, I'm gaggin for this app to work for me, but it just doesn't.

Sorry to start on a downer, but I don't like the interface. It's not intuitive and it takes a while, stumbling round, before you figure out how to use it. That aside, once you've got a journey sorted and click "OK", that's where I get a problem.

I could take a screenshot if you like, but it's basically a NullReferenceException in frmMain.CheckSettings when called from frmMain_Activated.

If you do want any more info, just let me know. Like I said, I really want this app to work for me!

Cheers :)

Edit:

Okay, I've just tried it again and it worked. I think there's something a bit "finicky" about it. If I can reproduce the error then I'll let you know the steps that cause it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Gustopher:
@sproxy

Love the app and would like to try/volunteer to Beta Test the newer version. It does the job perfectly well but the older interface is a tad 'clunky'.

As an enhancement suggestion, is there/could there be a way to follow the progress of your journey whilst on the train? Especially in regard to the scheduled time of arrival at the destination station.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] looby:
CAB V2

These are the screens showing the error relating to it being a bit flaky....:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sproxy:
Hi there,

Thanks for the feedback so far. I have also found a few issues not reported yet and will get them fixed shortly. I agree about usability issues however, as I mentioned before, the UI is not complete yet and it will be revised over the weekend. Please feel free to express your views on all aspects of the application.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ikhan24:
i have installed, when i update i get no train times
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] looby:
CAB V2

@ikhan 24

I think you are suffering from the error as noted on previous page in the screenshots . After you have selected the stations try leaving it a little while before you hit the OK button..:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] weepatc:
App seems to work ok for me after I worked out how to use it. Very useful......Thanks! :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sproxy:
Hi,

I was just going through the issues and noticed that you might be reffering to the version on the mainpost. Can you confirm if you had this issue with the one of the provate betas of the new version or not?

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] EViS:
Hey bud, a fellow commuter along the RDG>PAD route by any chance?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
This was with the version currently on the 1st post. I did try the first version when you originally uploaded it and had the exact same problem. I think the post a few posts above hit the nail on the head. It seems to be okay if you just wait between adding your first fave journey and clicking OK.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sproxy:
Hi again,

I have sent you a PM with the new beta.

Just to make it clear for other posters, the discussion in the last few pages is about the private beta version of the application which is not yet available in first post. The new verion uses a new GUI engine as well as a different API to pull the timetables and had good feedback so far. I have not added beta versioninformation to the main post on purpose to keep the number of tester low but I have been sending it to anyone who requested, so feel free to ask.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] B4PJS:
Some of the time yeah :)

Most of the time (when my missus is at work) I have to drive from reading to denham then get the train from there!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] B4PJS:
Beta 5 seems to have fixed the previous issue I was having with RDG > PAD.

Feature Request:

Any chance you could implement an import/export feature as I have about 4 journeys I need to set up, and as I cook my own ROMs, I flash my phone quite often and have to set them up each time.

Cheers mate, I love this app, was cool to see the live progress as my train approached the platform this morning :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Antimus:
Conisbrough to Leeds with the return journey doesn't work :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] m0nkeyman:
hello I would like to test your new version of your cool program. Liked the first beta and would be interested to see how the new interface looks and works
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mb:
The one app I've been waiting for on Windows Mobile.

THANK YOU! I'll be watching this development with interest.

Some feedback from my time spent with it:

It doesn't seem to understand any shortcut codes, eg. SRC for Streatham Common. Can this be added?

I'm also not able to select more than one favourite journey. It seems stuck.

I had a crash when it didn't exit properly, but will tell you the steps and error message in full when I next get a chance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rishishah:
I agree it is a very good app - I travel daily to/from Waterloo and even notice that the platform number on the app updates in real time (when i hit refresh) to when it is displayed on the boards at Waterloo.

Maybe the only thing i would suggest is an auto-refresh function which is customisable such that i can set the app to autorefresh every couple of mins or so.

Otherwise its a great app...keep up the good work:D:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Ianhd2:
Good app sproxy,

Looking forward to trying the new version you are developing :)

*Probably been asked already but the things I would like added would be for journeys that are more than one train eg Bolton to London needs two trains.

*Also Journey planner choosing a date and time

For example after choosing stations, you then have the option of clicking on "Now and next", "today", "week", or "fortnight" (Now and next throwing up results like the old version does..

Then if not chosen "now and next" it throws up a calendar/clock to say when..

I have no idea if that is possible or not, but would turn a great app into an excellent app if it could be done...

Keep up the good work, and thanks :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mb:
Sorry

I've spent a reasonable amount of time with this app now and ended up uninstalling it. It's very much version 1.0.

I don't really want to knock what you've done (so I will!), but I seem to be only to get one journey up and that's it. I can't even change it or add another journey, no matter how hard I try.

I wish you all the best with it. If you can rival what National Rail have done for the iSheep, I'll gladly pay you for your work... but just not now! Sorry
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] imruncorn:
First post just wanted to thank you sproxy for the wonderful app.

I also had the problem that you mention with changing the journey. On the journey page at the bottom it has a bar saying for example From: BAL To: SRC it has a down arrow in the corner if you tap the bar this is how you change the journey. I cant paste pictures being a new user but in post #2 there is a picture of this screen, you touch the green bar to get the choice of journeys.

Hope this helps:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mb:
Thank you. I re-installed and looked for the magical green bar, but didn't see it. It's still stuck on the one journey.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] p50kombi:
beta stopped working

Hi sproxy.

The beta seems to have stopped working for me.

Once I ad a journey, the update bar just keeps running and nothing happens..

Any idea what's going on?

Really like this little app.

any other beta users experiencing trouble updating?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] havoc99:
I have the same issue once in a while. I just shut down the app. Disconnect and then reconnect my connection and then try again. It seems to then work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sproxy:
Hi,

Thanks for the report. Just wanted to let everybody know that, the development is not frozend but I just had to take some time to complete the missig functionality and test it internally for a while. The application is very close to being complete and in the next few days I will send a new stream of betas and hopefully make it available on the main post.

I think, I know the issue you mention and it should be resolved in the new beta.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Ianhd2:
Great news m8, looking forward to it :)

does the new version have the addition of journeys that require more than one train?

Or is that going to be included at some point?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cozzykim:
Great news sproxy,

My girlfriend and I are both using your app on our HD2s, once you figure out the interface and a couple of tweaks (like adding a departure from the station your GFs train is arriving at, to tell you when her train departs, and thus the arrival time ;) ) the app works great.

We have our journeys with 4 different routes and stations set up and it all works perfectly.

Don't listen to the moaners and groaners :D any development is an added bonus.

Thanks for your hard work sproxy.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kjt57:
Great app, use train most days for work and realy helps. Looking forward to new version.......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sproxy:
Hi,

This version will not have the journey planning functionality but it is in the to do list. Also pretty soon I will also need that feature :) It is not implented yet because such functionality will require a new api and will take a little longer. As soon as I release the current version generally, will start planning the journey planner.

Thanks for the comments. I believe by Sunday, I will send new beta out and I will include the recent participants in this this discussion as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Ianhd2:
Thank you again...

Its just great that you do spend your time and effort doing this, not just for yourself, but letting all of us benefit too...

This is one app that falls into the "must have" category :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] foggy69:
This is a great little app, thanks sproxy.

If you need any more beta testers, please add me to the list :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] B4PJS:
Still using this app most days. Only thing that bugs me sometimes is when the app quits due to no connection because i will load up my journey on my rush to the tube and then try and read it on the tube so i know what platform i need to rush for when i get to the station. Looking forward to the new release
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] p50kombi:
Good to hear..

Beta is working like a charm here and can't wait for new version..

Keep up the good work ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mb:
That's great news about a forthcoming version.

I don't know what happened, but I've somehow managed to get multiple favourite journeys at last!

This has given me a chance to re-evalate this app compared to rivals. I have to say, I think yours is now actually the best for my needs. The Favourite Journeys feature in particular makes it the leader. There's one app I found which is £1.19 from the Windows Mobile Store, but it's not as good as yours IMHO, and I'd rather give you the money to be honest as you've never set out to misinform over the cost of your work.

Keep up the good work! Can't wait to try the new version.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sproxy:
Hi everybody,

There is new test version available and I have already sent messages to the previous testers. If you would like to give it a go, just post a reply and I will send you the link.

It is still a test version and therefore please be aware that some UI flow will be altered and there might be a few issues that we might have missed during testing so far.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Ianhd2:
I've told sproxy but I would like to tell everyone else too... I've had the opportunity to test it and it is light years better than the previous one, not to say that one wasnt good as it was...

I encourage anyone to try this new version, and be very impressed by how good it is

Thank you Sproxy :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kjt57:
Hi Mate,

Using your app at the moment most days for work, would be willing to try the new version for you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ians12345:
Sproxy I would be interested in trying the app please. Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] foggy69:
Hi sproxy

I would also like to help out by testing your latest beta.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chrismcb:
If you could add me to that list too, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sproxy:
Hi,

I cannot send private message to you. Do you mind enabling it for a while? Or If you prefer, pm me your email and I'll send it to your email.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] m0nkeyman:
Hello mate could you add me as a beta tester too. I did ask on the last beta but never got a link. Many thanks and keep up the hard work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chrismcb:
Thanks for the link - i can see it's great app already.

Got one problem just now though - when I get the message to set my default route, I get the station picker for arrival and departure, but no "check" icon to accept it, only a cross to cancel.

I've tried tapping the area where i expect it to be, but it isnt there either.

Is it something i'm doing?

[Update]

I canceled it, then done it again - and it accepted it without the need to press a check mark.

Must have been me?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Antimus:
I'd love to try the new version too, had problems with the last one so hopefully I can report a successful test on the new one!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] weepatc:
This app has improved greatly & you've done a great job on the UI. This is a must have & I believe you could really make some money on the Marketplace with this when you've sorted out the minor bugs & implemented the to dos. Great work sproxy & thanks for allowing me to test the latest beta version.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sproxy:
Hi again,

Thanks for the comments so far. I have sent messages to those who have requested. Feel free to let me know if you have not received the link and want to give it a try.

For the current testers, please let me know about the issues you come across either in terms of usability or bugs. Will try to get them sorted as soon as possible.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] m0nkeyman:
Love the new beta mate looks good and love the left and right slide thing. Used it tonight on my way back from liverpool street and worked fine for train times but no platform numbers. Which was no hardship but would have been nice.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rishishah:
Happy to Assist with Beta testing especially as i use trains every day. Have an HD2 with Energy Rom
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mb:
The beta version is FANTASTIC. This is by far the best UK Rail App on Windows Mobile! Got platform numbers fine for London Euston which saved me a bit of time.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Beefheart:
Hi mate, I was a previous tester and didn't get the link. Any chance it could be sent to me? Cheers.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] foggy69:
This version has been pretty solid apart from 1 issue.

On my TG01, I sometimes get an error message and the program then quits when I try to change the tick box options on the 'Arrivals/Departures' screen. It has only happened a few times when you try to select the other option, it happens both ways around when you try to change from Arr to Dep and also from Dep to Arr.

I have attached a couple of screen shots of the error message if they are any use to you.

My only request for the next version is can we have the BR arrow back for the shortcut icon :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sproxy:
Thanks for taking time to report. My colleague also experienced similar issue. I will look into this and sort it out as soon as possible.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] B4PJS:
Heya Sproxy, loving the new version, only wierd bug I came across was when I killed the program with taskmanager, got a weird .net exception. It isnt actually a problem, I just need to remember to quit from the app rather than using taskmanager.

Oh, one other slight bug, this morning I loaded up my train and the train was on time, by the time I got to the station the train was running late (and when I checked it was after the train was scheduled to arrive) so it was showing as having passed my station, but then when it updated, two little red dots were there till I went back to the list of trains and back to the service page. I assume it was just a redrawing issue.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sproxy:
Thanks for the reports so far. I will make sure they are sorted before the next test version which should be this weekend.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kjt57:
Also getting same issue on my HD2. Great app though.......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] foggy69:
The problem I had previously reported was sorted with the update.

When you view the 'Departures' screen, the To and From stations names are reversed. The train is say going from Victoria to Littlehampton, but the depart screen says it it going from Littlehampton to Victoria. The 'Arrivals' screen shows the correct info.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] paulrockliffe:
Looks good, typically I've been after this for years and as soon as I buy a car, someone goes and does it!

Cheers, will install it anyway.
