[...] well so Tera WURFL grabs the WURFL xml file once and stores it in a local MySQL table for querying. I agree with others that the mobile web is finally coming of age about 6 years after the disastrous rollout [...]

Richard – I think a couple of people have done stuff with some of the Dublin timetables, though I’m not sure if it was “official” or not

Never mind Blackberry – it’s fairly difficult to use on a PC.

I travelled to both Belfast and Cork in the past 3 months, both via Irish Rail. But I can safely say whoever designed the schedule checking and purchase funnel should hang their heads in shame.

I was going to dig into who the culprits are to do some naming and shaming, but that would be too far out of character for me…

On a brighter note, didn’t the Dart do some interesting stuff with timetables via SMS?

Rgds to both

It’s pity that more “useful” sites and services aren’t available for mobiles. Rail and bus timetables are an obvious choice, but Irish Rail / Bus Eireann don’t seem to have done anything about it yet
