There’s talk on the block of 6 new stations opening in a space of 18 Days? What if there was an app to keep track of every station visited? Well you can with Rail Statistics, now out for download on iOS & Android. (New stations are added on opening day, plus a visual map showing your progress)

Jack Railway Secrets @jackrailsecrets.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

Great video! And now I need to figure out a way to add a option to track a station visited in a variety of way, cause that would be interesting? Tho, I like that you’re using a paper map for station tracking, whilst I’ve been working on an app for tracking stations!

A map showing all 2589 station with red pins for not visited stations and green pins for visited stations.

A detailed station stats page showing station location, operator, CRS/TIPLOC Codes and Station usage data.

With SWR now nationalised and GBR upcoming. It’s time I’d share that I’ve been working on a radical concept of GBR and here it is! (I’ll be showing more in the coming weeks)

Jack Railway Secrets @jackrailsecrets.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

Well after 265 miles & 4 hours and 16mins I’ve unfortunately left the aberzance at Tiverton Parkway to make the last XC back to Leeds, so I guess I’ll do all that in reverse. Am I mad maybe?

Jack Railway Secrets @jackrailsecrets.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

Great to hear @mikewillsee.bsky.social on the BBCs Radio 4, Today show on the last aberzance

When you wake up 9 months later to discover that you photobombed Claudia Winkleman in Sheffield last July without realising.

010

Jack Railway Secrets @jackrailsecrets.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

Well what a unexpected and spontaneous week! Saw a rouge southerner in the north, ended up traveling 9 hours north to Fort William, Ticked of 2 new stations Morar & Mallaig. Plus a dusting of a sunset to end the spontaneity!

Jack Railway Secrets @jackrailsecrets.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

Well this is embarrassing! 🫤 This is longest I’ve gone not being on a train in maybe a year, this needs to change. Where should I go? (I need suggestions)

010

Jack Railway Secrets @jackrailsecrets.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

Jack Railway Secrets @jackrailsecrets.bsky.social · 15/03/2025

This is just as bad too, like why is the arrow on the wrong side.

010

Jack Railway Secrets @jackrailsecrets.bsky.social · 25/02/2025

If you had to pick one look for Great Britain’s rail network, which would you choose? The bog standard “double arrows” NR logo or a complete facelift with a prototype GBR “movement” logo? What’s your thoughts? Is it time to ditch the double arrows?

Jack Railway Secrets @jackrailsecrets.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

Merry belated Christmas and a early happy new year. In the last few days I’ve been coding a new iOS app (I mean ChatGPT created the code for it) So why use a excel spreadsheet to track stations when you can do it in a app and import your current spreadsheet too

Jack Railway Secrets @jackrailsecrets.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

Mytholmroyd - Station 70 of 70, in West Yorkshire. Meaning I’ve now been to all stations in West Yorkshire and means I’ve completed my first county!!!! Oh, and after grabbing Stocksmoor on the Penistone Line on Tuesday means I’ve now been to 1/5 (20%) of all stations in GB!! What’s next for 2025?
