I was trying to use the National Rail site to find out why the trains were screwed up this morning. My mistake was to use my Nokia E61i which, sadly, was interpreted as a full size computer by the National Rail site. Hundreds of KB later and my device was beginning to run out of memory to display the page. Arse.
It seems the Nokia E61i … or any Nokia E-series, isn’t considered anywhere near a ‘PDA’ — bit annoying. However if you use any of the following devices, you will, I understand, have a perfectly wicked, customised experience:
The new National Rail Enquiries website is designed to allow access from a number of devices and web browsers at www.nationalrail.co.uk. A summary list of devices supported is given below. If you have a request for support of another device, please let us know by filling in a feedback form.
Supported PDA Devices:
Pocket PC
Sony Ericsson P900 and P901
Hewlett Packard Ipaq
Windows CE
BlackBerry
I’m pleased to note they have Blackberry support — but surely the same coding they’re using for the Pocket PC would work fine for Nokia E61s?

For example http://traintimes.org.uk/Waterloo/Guildford will always show you the next train going from Waterloo to Guildford. Much easier than typing in station names.
However, the new National Rail site - http://nationalrail.co.uk/mobile/ - seems to work well on my handsets.
