About National Rail

National Rail is the brand name for passenger rail services operated in Great Britain. It has been in use since 1999 and is owned by the Rail Delivery Group. The brand is headquartered in London and its official website is nationalrail.co.uk.
National Rail is the brand covering passenger train services across Great Britain. When something goes wrong, it is rarely the brand itself. Delays, timetable changes, and booking problems usually sit with individual train operators or with the sites that publish live data. This page tracks reported problems so you can see whether others are affected too.
National Rail is the collective brand for passenger rail services in Great Britain, run under the Rail Delivery Group since 1999. It is not a single train company. Dozens of operators use the brand, and each one runs its own trains, staff, and ticketing. Because of that split, an outage on one route rarely means trouble everywhere. What usually breaks? The journey planner and live departure boards can lag during busy periods. Ticket booking sometimes fails when operators change timetables or release new fares. Apps may log people out after updates. Stations themselves can also lose ticket machines, which shows up as complaints even when the website is fine. Before reporting an issue, check a few things. Confirm your app is up to date, then try the mobile site as a fallback. If a journey shows as delayed, look at the specific operator's page too, since they often post details National Rail aggregates. Persistent payment errors are usually on the payment provider's side, not the railway's.

Questions

Is National Rail down right now?

According to reports on this page, National Rail looks fine for most people. Isolated failures still happen — report yours if you are stuck.

When was the last mass outage?

We do not have a recorded mass outage for National Rail yet.

Is my ticket still valid if my train is cancelled?

In most cases yes. Train operators usually accept tickets on the next available service, and some allow travel on other routes. Check the operator's policy before you travel, since conditions vary between companies.

Why does the journey planner show different times than the station board?

The two pull from different data feeds, and one can update before the other. Short-lived signal problems or late platform changes often cause the mismatch. Refresh both, and treat the station board as the more current source.
