It might be worth pointing out that while the National Rail app is £5,
there are two other apps which use the same data and offer mostly the
same features, free.
One is the CrossCountry app (but works across the whole UK)
http://itunes.apple.com/app/train-search/id331578824
The other is the Trainline app which allows you to buy tickets, too:
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/thetrainline/id334235181
I'd be interested to see how these other apps stack up for visually
impaired users, compared to National Rail's own "pay us a fiver" app.
