Search services

This site supports a variety of "search services" that are used to look up data directly from NetworkRail's systems, alongside other systems.
The ones supported are as follows:

• rtt - RealTimeTrains
• ott - OpenTrainTimes
• rc - RailCam
• rr - RailRecord
• tr - Traksy

These need to simply be appended to the end of a link to use them, ie uk.shortenmytra.in/1Q32/rr would look up 1Q32 on RailRecord.
