Timetables on your phone by Virgin Trains

In a move that in time no doubt will become the standard norm, Virgin Trains has introduced new mobile phone-friendly versions of its popular pocket timetables and route maps.  It looks like paper timetables and route maps are for the most part on their way out.

To access the Virgin Trains pocket timetables, simply download a QR (Quick Response) reader, free of charge, from either an Android, BlackBerry or iPhone app store.  Once that has been done, all that is needed is to scan the QR code on any one of the Virgin Trains posters at stations and the requested timetable will load onto the phone.

At the moment customers can upload Virgin Trains full range of pocket timetables. From 11 December 2011, they will also be able to access the four Route Guides, giving them quick and easy access to Virgin Trains comprehensive timetable information.  When a new timetable is released the QR code will need to be scanned again. www.virgintrains.co.uk
