Accessible rail timetable site is really a web 2.0 kind of site

From my esteemed colleagues Adrian Higginbottom .

Not only very clever but accessible to. This is really a web2.0 type of site high degree of personlisation etc. Brilliant quite Brilliant

http://traintimes.org.uk/
allows you to access timetable information simply by building your own web address - no need to fill in web forms.

so for example to see a time table of trains from Coventry to york use the URL http://traintimes.org.uk/coventry/york/

if you want to travel after 10:30 then
http://traintimes.org.uk/coventry/york/10:30

if you aren't traveling until the 28th then
http://traintimes.org.uk/coventry/york/10:30/2007-02-28/
and if you aren't sure what date next wednesday is then
http://traintimes.org.uk/coventry/york/10:30/next-wednesday

what better for mobile access, forms free access etc.
and it also show best available price too.

unfortunately you can't currently buy tickets via this site :-(

Thanks Adrian!!!
