As a daily commuter, the departures board functionality is totally invaluable. Our station (and indeed many stations) do not have departure boards or departure announcements, so this app is the only way of knowing when the next train is due. For a service that only runs every 15 minutes (in rush hour, less off-peak) it is essential.
